Instruments Subject <br />to Annulment
National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/290)
Are members content to ask the Scottish Government the question that is set out in the summary of recommendations? To set the question in context, the power appears to permit the Scottish ministers to set the charge on any basis that is considered to be the appropriate commercial basis. May we ask the question, which is probably important?
Public Contracts and Utilities Contracts (Common Procurement Vocabulary Codes) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/291)
Are we content to ask the Scottish Government the two questions that are set out in the summary of recommendations?
Divorce etc (Pensions) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 <br />(SSI 2008/293)<br />National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/288)
National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment <br />(No 2) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/289)
The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
I ask members to note that the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2003 (SSI 2003/460), which SSI 2008/288 amends for the 13th time, are a candidate for consolidation—here we go again. I ask members to note also that the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/642), which SSI 2008/289 amends for the 17th time, are a candidate for consolidation. We wonder whether we will see consolidation before we finish our time on the committee, but there we are.
