Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) Regulations 1997 (“the Optical Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 1 of the Optical Regulations so as to make reference to a 1% increase in the NHS sight test fees.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
