  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese 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).\nAmendments made to the principal Regulations by regulation 2 increase the charges. Where a traffic casualty received NHS treatment but was not admitted to hospital in respect of an incident which occurred on or after 1st April 2004 the charge is increased from £452 to £473. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment in respect of an incident which occurred on or after 1 April 2004 is increased from £556 to £582. The maximum charge for in-patient treatment in respect of an incident which occurred on or after 1 April 2004 is increased from £33,000 to £34,800.\nRegulation 3 is a saving provision which maintains the current charges for incidents occurring before 1st April 2004.",
