National Assistance (Sums for Personal Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (SSI 2013/40)

Good morning and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2013 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual, I remind those present to switch off all mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other wireless devices, as they can interfere with the sound system.

Our first agenda item is to consider two negative Scottish statutory instruments, the first of which is SSI 2013/40. No motion to annul the regulations has been lodged, and the Subordinate Legislation Committee has not drawn them to the attention of the Parliament.

If members have no comments to make, do we agree that the committee has no recommendations to make on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (SSI 2013/41)

The second instrument is SSI 2013/41. Again, no motion to annul the regulations has been lodged, and the Subordinate Legislation Committee has not drawn them to the attention of the Parliament, although it noted that the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992 have been amended 15 times.

If members have no comments to make, do we agree that the committee has no recommendations to make on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.
