These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) Regulations 1997 (“the principal Regulations”) which provide for payments to be made by means of a voucher system in respect of costs incurred by certain categories of persons in connection with sight tests and the supply, replacement and repair of optical appliances.
Regulation 2 amends the definition of “NHS sight test fee” in regulation 1(2) of the principal Regulation to reflect the values of the two levels of fees for National Health Service sight tests payable to ophthalmic medical practitioners and opticians. These amounts are relevant to the determination of eligibility for, and the redemption value of, a voucher towards the cost of a sight test.
