Section 22(4) of the National Assistance Act 1948 as applied by section 87(3) and (4) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (“the 1968 Act”) requires a local authority to assume in assessing a person’s liability to pay for accommodation provided under the 1968 Act or section 25 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13) that he or she will need for his or her personal requirements such sum per week as may be prescribed by regulations.
These Regulations prescribe that from 7th April 2008 that sum will be £21.15 per week.
These Regulations revoke the National Assistance (Sums for Personal Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 which previously prescribed £20.45 as the sum persons were assumed to need for personal requirements per week.
1948 c. 29; section 64(1) of the National Assistance Act 1948 defines the term “prescribed”; section 87(4) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 (c. 49) (“the 1968 Act”) substitutes the term “Secretary of State” for the term “Minister”. The functions of the Secretary of State so far as they are exercisable in Scotland were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
1968 c. 49 (“the 1968 Act”). Section 87(3) of the 1968 Act was amended by the Social Security Act 1980 (c. 30), Schedule 4, paragraph 5(1); the Health and Social Services and Social Security Adjudications Act 1983 (c. 41), section 20(2); the Social Security Act 1986 (c. 50), Schedule 10, paragraph 41(2); the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c. 19) (“the 1990 Act”), Schedule 9, paragraph 10(13) and by the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 13) (“the 2003 Act”), section 28(1). Section 87(4) of the 1968 Act was amended by the 1990 Act, Schedule 9, paragraph 10(13) and by the 2003 Act, section 28(1). By virtue of section 87(3) of the 1968 Act, accommodation provided under that Act or under section 25 of the 2003 Act is regarded as accommodation provided under Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948 (c. 29).
