  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision in relation to the amount of NHS charges which a person (who pays compensation to an injured person) is liable to pay, where that injured person has received National Health Service treatment or ambulance services.\nRegulation 2 amends regulation 2J of the principal Regulations and inserts regulation 2K into the principal Regulations to increase the charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2018. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £205 to £208 for each occasion the service is provided. Where the injured person receives NHS treatment but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £678 to £688. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £833 to £846. The maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £49,824 to £50,561.\nRegulation 2 also makes amendments, by way of inserting references to the increased charges in new regulation 2K, to provisions in the principle Regulations in relation to situations where (a) a person makes more than one compensation payment to an injured person and (b) a person is due to pay NHS charges to both the Scottish Ministers and the Secretary of State.",
