EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“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 injury has received National Health Service treatment or ambulance services (“NHS charges”).
Amendments made to the principal Regulations by regulation 2 increase the charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2011. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £177 to £181 for each occasion. Where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £585 to £600. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £719 to £737. The maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £42,999 to £44,056.
