# The Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (“the principal Regulations”), which provide for remission and payment of certain charges which would otherwise be payable under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 and for the payment by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety of travelling expenses incurred in attending a hospital.
Regulation 2 amends the principal Regulations to make it clear that the calculation as to whether a person is to be entitled to payment in part of health service travel expenses under regulation 6(1)(b)(i) of those Regulations is made by reference to the travel expenses incurred in any week.
Regulation 3 amends Schedule 1 of the principal Regulations to increase the amounts used as the basis for calculating entitlement to the payment of travel expenses and the remission of charges under those Regulations.
