NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE, WALES

The Regulations make provision for a civil penalty to be imposed where a person wrongly fails to pay a National Health Service charge in respect of the provision of drugs and medicines, dental treatment and appliances, optical services, or any other appliances. The Regulations also make provision for a civil penalty to be imposed where a person receives a payment or benefit towards the cost of a National Health Service charge or service to which that person is not entitled, such as National Health Service spectacle vouchers or free National Health Service sight tests.
