Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023 [Draft]

The next item on our agenda is consideration of two negative instruments. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instruments at its meeting on 21 February 2023 and made no recommendations in relation to either instrument.?

The first instrument is the Public Health Scotland Amendment Order 2023, which amends the Public Health Scotland Order 2019.?The order would allow Public Health Scotland to make arrangements for the vaccination or immunisation of persons against any disease.?The policy notes accompanying the order state that that is required due to the expansion of the role of Public Health Scotland in vaccination and immunisation-related activities.?

No motion to annul has been lodged in relation to the instrument.??If members have no comments, I propose that the committee makes no recommendations in relation to that negative instrument.??Are we all in agreement??

Members indicated agreement.

The second instrument is the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023. The purpose of the instrument is 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 hospital and community health services annual inflation.??

No motion to annul has been lodged in relation to this instrument.???If members have no comments, I propose that the committee makes no recommendations in relation to the negative instrument.??Are we all in agreement??

Members indicated agreement.
