These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Clinical Negligence and Other Risks Indemnity Scheme) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/54) (“the 2000 Regulations”) which established a scheme under which members of the scheme could make provision for meeting liabilities arising out of negligence in the carrying out of functions and for indemnity for other financial loss.

Regulation 2 amends regulation 3 of the 2000 Regulations in order to add the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland as a member of the scheme.
