Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Scotland) Regulations 1988 (“the principal Regulations”) which provide for the remission and repayment of certain charges which would otherwise be payable under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (c. 29) and for the payment of travelling expenses incurred in attending hospital.
The Regulations amend the description of persons entitled to full remission and payment, to include people in receipt of disabled person’s tax credit and working families' tax credit, which replace disability working allowance and family credit respectively (regulations 2 and 3). Regulation 5 makes provision in connection with people in receipt of disability working allowance and family credit during the transitional period.
Regulation 4 amends Table A in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (modification of provisions of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987) in relation to the calculation of resources in the case of students.
