Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) Regulations 1989 (“the Charges Regulations”) and the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) Regulations 1988 (“the Remission Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends the Charges Regulations by substituting new definitions of “elastic hosiery” and “prescription form” and by extending the definition of “nurse prescriber”, by making provision for a declaration to be made by or on behalf of a patient (typically on a prescription form) that a charge has been paid and by making further provision regarding requirements for the provision of declarations and evidence of entitlement to exemptions from NHS charges. Regulation 3 increases the charges payable under the Charges Regulations but provides for the old charges to apply in respect of certain appliances ordered and pre-payment certificates applied for before the coming into force of the Regulations. Regulation 4 amends the Remission Regulations and makes further provision regarding requirements for the provision of declarations and evidence of entitlement to exemptions from NHS charges provided for under those Regulations.
