Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (Ffioedd Ymwelwyr Tramor) 1989 sy'n darparu ar gyfer codi ac adennill ffioedd mewn perthynas â gwasanaethau penodol o dan Ddeddf y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol 1977 i bobl benodol nad ydynt fel arfer yn preswylio yn y Deyrnas Unedig (“ymwelwyr tramor”).
Mae rheoliadau 3 a 5 yn newid manylion yr hawl ar gyfer nifer o'r categorïau presennol o ymwelwyr tramor sy'n esempt rhag ffioedd am wasanaethau.
