EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 of these Regulations makes various amendments to the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2011.
It amends the exemption in regulation 6, relating to sexually transmitted infections, to provide for all relevant services which relate to infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus to be exempt. It removes the exemption in regulation 23 relating to the Olympic Games (and related references) as this exemption is no longer required at the date these Regulations come into force.
It amends regulation 8 to clarify that a person comes within the exemption if they would have been in one of the specified places but for the fact that the patient is in England for treatment.
It inserts a substitute regulation 24 to clarify that the exemption set out in that regulation applies to a member of the family of an overseas visitor, who is himself or herself an overseas visitor and is lawfully present with that other overseas visitor in the United Kingdom, and that other overseas visitor is exempt for one of the reasons specified.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
