# The National Health Service (Property Expenses Scheme) (England) Regulations 2018, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The NHS Property Expenses Scheme covers property damage and is funded by membership contributions. It was established by the National Health Service (Property Expenses Scheme) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”).
This instrument consolidates the 1999 Regulations and the instruments which amended them, in respect of their application to England. Regulation 16 revokes those instruments but saves the 1999 Regulations to a certain extent in certain circumstances. Regulation 16(2) provides that where an expense was incurred before the coming into force of these Regulations, the 1999 Regulations apply in relation to both the determination as to whether the Scheme applies, and whether a payment is to be made, in respect of that expense.
Regulation 17 provides that these Regulations rather than the 1999 Regulations apply in relation to certain circumstances despite those circumstances arising before the coming into force of these Regulations.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
