(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, further amend the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Wales) Regulations 2007 ("the 2007 Regulations"). Those Regulations provide for the payment of travel expenses to, and the remission of National Health Service (NHS) charges for, amongst others, persons on low incomes, by reference to limits on their income and capital.
In calculating a person's resources and requirements under the 2007 Regulations in order to establish whether that person can claim entitlement to the remission of NHS charges and payment of NHS travelling expenses, a modified version of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 is applied.
Regulation 3 changes the modification to regulation 45 of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 so that the prescribed capital limit is uplifted to £24,000 from 20 May 2014.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
S.I. 2007/1104 (W.116) as amended by S.I. 2008/1480 (W.153), S.I. 2011/681 (W.100) and S.I. 2012/800 (W.109). There are other amendments none of which are relevant to these Regulations.
