These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision for the 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 (“NHS charges”).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 2 of the principal Regulations to increase the charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2010. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £171 to £177 for each occasion. Where the injured person receives NHS treatment but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £566 to £585. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £695 to £719. The maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £41,545 to £42,999.
