These Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1986.
Regulation 2 amends regulation 18 to remove the provision for assessing, for the purposes of industrial injuries benefit, the extent of disablement arising from diffuse mesothelioma and to prescribe impaired function of the pleura, pericardium or peritoneum caused by diffuse mesothelioma as a loss of faculty from which the resulting disabilities are to be taken as amounting to 100 per cent. disablement.
These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 7 of Schedule 5A to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 8), are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2A) of that Act for prior reference to the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
