The General Medical Services Transitional and Consequential Provisions (No. 1) (Northern Ireland) Order 2004

Claims under the Statement of Fees and Allowances

42.—(1) Notwithstanding the repeal of the 1997 Regulations, claims may still be made for payments under the Statement of Fees and Allowances by any person who may be entitled to such a payment, provided that the claim is made within any period stipulated in the Statement of Fees and Allowances as being the period during which a claim for the payment is to be made.

(2) If a claim is made outside that stipulated period, the Board may extend that period for up to six years from the date on which the circumstances which gave rise to the claim first arose.

(3) If the Board refuses the claim, or considers that the amount to be paid out in respect of the claim is significantly lower than the amount claimed, the arrangements for appeals set out in paragraph 80 of the Statement of Fees and Allowances are to apply.
