EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1989 ("the principal Regulations"), which provide for remission and repayment of certain charges which would otherwise be payable under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 and for the payment by the Department of travelling expenses incurred in attending a hospital.
Regulation 2 amends Table A of Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations to uprate the capital limits used in remission and repayment calculations relating to people living permanently in residential care or nursing homes. It brings those limits into line with those used by Boards under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 to determine such people's liability to pay for their care.
