# The Road Traffic (NHS Charges) Amendment Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Traffic (NHS Charges) Regulations 1999 (“the principal Regulations”) which provide for a scheme for the recovery from insurers and certain other persons of charges in connection with the treatment of road traffic casualties by the National Health Service (NHS).
Amendments made to the principal Regulations by regulation 2 apply to incidents occurring on or after 28th January 2002 and: increase the charge where the traffic casualty received NHS treatment but was not admitted to hospital from £354 to £402; increase the daily charge for NHS treatment where the traffic casualty is admitted to hospital from £435 to £494; and increase the maximum charge for treatment where the traffic casualty is admitted to hospital from £10,000 to £30,000. Regulation 3 is a saving provision which maintains the current charges for accidents occurring before 28th January 2002.
