(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2007 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision about the charges payable under the scheme for the recovery of National Health Service (“NHS”) charges in cases where an injured person who receives a compensation payment in respect of his injury has received NHS hospital treatment or ambulance services.
Amendments made to the principal Regulations by regulation 2 increase the charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2010. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £171 to £177 for each occasion. Where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £566 to £585. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £695 to £719. The maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £41,545 to £42,999.
Regulation 3 is a saving provision which maintains the existing amounts for injuries occurring before 1st April 2010.
A full Impact Assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as a negligible impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
