EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/295) (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision about the charges payable under the scheme for the recovery of NHS charges in cases where an injured person who receives a compensation payment in respect of their injury has received NHS hospital treatment or ambulance services.

Regulation 2 amends the principal Regulations by substituting a table in Schedule 1. This table provides for increased charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2020. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge will be £224 (compared with £219, which is the charge in respect of injuries occurring on or after 1st April 2019, but no later than 31st March 2020). Where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge will be £743 (compared with £725 for injuries incurred the previous year). The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment will be £913 (compared with £891 for injuries incurred the previous year). The maximum charge in respect of an injury will be £54,566 (compared with £53,278 for injuries incurred the previous year).

Regulation 3 revokes the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/285).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
