Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the amount which a local authority shall assume that a person will need for their personal requirements per week, in assessing the person’s liability to pay for accommodation provided under the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (“the 1968 Act”) or section 25 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003.

Section 22(4) of the National Assistance Act 1948 as applied by section 87(3) and (4) of the 1968 Act requires a local authority to assume in assessing a person’s liability to pay for accommodation provided under the 1968 Act or section 25 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 that the person will need for their personal requirements such sum per week as may be prescribed by regulations.

These Regulations prescribe the sum which will be £31.00 per week from 11 April 2021.

These Regulations revoke the National Assistance (Sums for Personal Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 and regulation 3 of the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources and Sums for Personal Requirements) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2021 which previously prescribed £29.30 as the sum persons were assumed to need for personal requirements per week with effect from 12 April 2021.

No Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations on the basis that there is no foreseeable impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.

(1)

1948 c. 29 (11 & 12 Geo. 6) (“the 1948 Act”). Section 64(1) of the 1948 Act contains a definition of “prescribed” relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made. Section 87(4) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c. 49) substitutes the term “Secretary of State” for the term “Minister”. The functions of the Secretary of State so far as exercisable within devolved competence were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).

(2)

1968 c. 49 (“the 1968 Act”). Section 87(3) of the 1968 Act was amended by section 28(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13) (“the 2003 Act”) and by section 62(2) of the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 10). Section 87(4) of the 1968 Act was amended by section 28(1) of the 2003 Act. By virtue of section 87(3) of the 1968 Act, accommodation provided under that Act or under section 25 of the 2003 Act is regarded as accommodation provided under Part III of the 1948 Act.
