Explanatory note

These regulations correct an error in, and modify the drafting of, the National Health Service (Superannuation – Special Provisions) Regulations 1985, in such a way as to make it clear that the persons referred to in regulation 5(2)(a) and (3)(a) and 6 of those regulations are not necessarily persons to whom regulation 3 applies.

In accordance with section 12(1) of the Superannuation Act 1972, regulation 2 has retrospective effect as from 1st April 1974 (regulation 3).
