National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/124)

Agenda item 2 is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument that is subject to negative procedure. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure that parity of treatment is maintained for people who claim help with health costs under the terms of the national health service's low income scheme, and to increase the income level cut-off for passporting to help with health costs.

No comments have been received from members and no motions to annul the regulations have been lodged. The Subordinate Legislation Committee, which considered the regulations at its meeting on 22 April, did not raise any issues that it wished to draw to our attention. Are we agreed that we do not wish to make any recommendations on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.
