(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2015 (“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 their injury has received NHS hospital treatment or ambulance services.
Regulation 2 amends the principal Regulations by inserting a substitute table in Schedule 1. This table increases the charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2017. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge is increased from £201 to £205. Where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge is increased from £665 to £678. The daily charge for NHS in-patient treatment is increased from £817 to £833. The maximum charge in respect of an injury is increased from £48,849 to £49,824.
A full impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as a negligible impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
