## EXPLANATORY NOTE 

(This note is not part of the Regulations) 

Edward Argar Minister of State, Department of Health and Social Care 

These Regulations amend the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/295) (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision about the charges payable under the scheme for the recovery of NHS charges in cases where an injured person who receives a compensation payment in respect of their injury has received NHS hospital treatment or ambulance services. 

Regulation 2 amends the principal Regulations by substituting a table in Schedule 1. This table provides for increased charges in respect of injuries which occur on or after 1st April 2020. Where the injured person is provided with NHS ambulance services, the charge will be £224 (compared with £219, which is the charge in respect of injuries occurring on or after 1st April 2019, but no later than 31st March 2020). Where the injured person receives NHS treatment, but is not admitted to hospital, the charge will be £743 (compared with £725 for injuries incurred the previous year).
