Regulation 2 Amount of NHS chargesI1
England and Wales
A certificate must specify—
the amount set out in the relevant row of column (2) (ambulance services) for each occasion on which, as a result of an injury, the injured person was provided with NHS ambulance services to take him or her to a hospital for NHS treatment; and
where the injured person received NHS treatment at a hospital in respect of an injury, either—
if the injured person was not admitted to hospital, the amount set out in the relevant row of column (3) (out-patient), or
if the injured person was admitted to hospital, the amount set out in the relevant row of column (4) (in-patient) for each day or part day of admission,
subject to paragraphs (3) and (4) and regulations 3, 4, 5 and 7.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b)(ii), where the injured person was admitted to hospital on one day and discharged on another day, the day of discharge shall be disregarded.
The amount which a certificate may specify under paragraphs (1)(a) or (1)(b), or both aggregated, shall not exceed the amount set out in the relevant row of column (5) (“the maximum”).
Where—
amounts must be specified under both paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b); and
the aggregate of those amounts would, apart from paragraph (3), exceed the maximum,
the amount to be specified under paragraph (1)(b) is to be reduced by the difference between the maximum and the aggregate of those amounts.
For the purposes of this regulation—
the reference to taking a person to a hospital includes transportation from one hospital to another; and
a row is the relevant row in relation to an injury where that injury occurred on or after the date listed in column (1) of that row but before the date listed in column (1) of the following row (if any).
In this regulation—
“column” means a column of the table in Schedule 1; and
“row” means a row of the table in Schedule 1.
