EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 ("the principal Regulations"), which provide for remission and payment 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 Health, Social Services and Public Safety of travelling expenses incurred in attending a hospital.
Regulation 2 amends Schedule 1 of the principal Regulations to increase the amounts used as the basis for calculating entitlement to the payment of travel expenses and the remission of charges under those Regulations.
