Regulation 8 Interim payments repaid under court order
This regulation applies where—
a person has made a payment of relevant NHS charges to the Secretary of State;
that payment relates to a compensation payment which was an interim payment of damages in respect of the injury, the whole amount of which a court has ordered to be repaid; and
no other compensation payment has been made by that person to the injured person in respect of the same injury.
Where this regulation applies, the Secretary of State shall pay to the person who made the compensation payment the amount of the payment referred to in paragraph (1)(a).
Where this regulation applies and the Secretary of State has (under section 162) paid the amount received to an ambulance trust or a responsible body, she may—
deduct the amount paid to that trust or body from any future payment due under that section;
require that trust or body to pay that amount to her; or
discharge her duty under paragraph (2) by requiring that trust or body to pay that amount to the person who paid the relevant NHS charges.
Where the Secretary of State makes a deduction or a requirement for payment under paragraph (3), she shall (with the requirement or the payment from which the deduction is made) send the responsible body or ambulance trust a statement showing—
the name and address of the injured person to whom the statement relates;
the amount already paid by the Secretary of State; and
whether that amount has been deducted, or payment to the Secretary of State or to the person who paid the relevant NHS charges is required.
