Subordinate Legislation
National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Regulations 2022 (SSI 2022/335)
The next item on our agenda is consideration of Scottish statutory instrument 2022/335, which is a negative instrument. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the regulations at its meeting on 22 November and made no recommendation on them.
The purpose of the regulations is to ensure that overseas visitors from the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Malta will not be charged for certain treatment that is provided by health boards in Scotland, in accordance with reciprocal healthcare agreements.
No motion to annul has been lodged in relation to the instrument. As members have no comments, I propose that the committee makes no recommendation on it. Do members agree?
Members indicated agreement.
