Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2024 (SSI 2024/225)
The third item on our agenda is consideration of one negative instrument, the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2024.
The purpose of the instrument is to amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Regulations 2006, in order to increase the charges recovered from persons who pay compensation in cases where an injured person receives national health service hospital treatment or ambulance services. The increase in charges relates to an uplift for cost inflation in hospital and community health services.
The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument at its meeting on 10 September 2024 and made no recommendations in relation to the instrument. No motion to annul the instrument has been lodged.
As members have no comments, I propose that the committee should not make any recommendations in relation to this negative instrument. I note that no member disagrees.
At our next meeting, we will take evidence as part of the committee’s further scrutiny of the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill at stage 2.
That concludes the public part of our meeting.
10:22 Meeting continued in private until 11:16.
