Regulation 57 OverpaymentsI1
England and Wales
Where a Local Health Board considers that a payment has been made to an NHS pharmacist or NHS appliance contractor as mentioned in regulation 55(6) or 56(3) in circumstances where it was not due, the Local Health Board must draw the overpayment to the attention of the NHS pharmacist or NHS appliance contractor and—
where the overpayment is admitted by the NHS pharmacist or NHS appliance contractor, or
where the NHS pharmacist or NHS appliance contractor does not admit there has been an overpayment but the Local Health Board or, on appeal, the Welsh Ministers under regulation 9(1)(c) of the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations 1992, decides that there has been an overpayment,
the amount overpaid will be recoverable either by deduction from the remuneration of the NHS pharmacist or NHS appliance contractor or in some other manner.
Recovery of an overpayment under this regulation is without prejudice to the investigation of an alleged breach of the terms of service.
