EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Scotland) (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (the “principal regulations”) prescribe the descriptions of person who are entitled to remission of certain charges payable for services provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (“NHS charges”) and who are entitled to reimbursement for their reasonable travel expenses incurred when travelling to access services under that Act.

These Regulations amend the principal regulations to insert an additional description of person who is entitled to remission of NHS charges for dental treatment and appliances only.
