The National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) Amendment Regulations 1991
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) Regulations 1988 (“the principal Regulations”) which provide for the remission and repayment of certain charges which would otherwise be payable under the National Health Service Act 1977, and for payments to be made in respect of travelling expenses incurred by a person attending a hospital, or attending a centre, for treatment disablement services, under the National Health Service (“the NHS”). The amendments are made principally in consequence of the introduction of NHS contracts and the provision of NHS services by NHS trusts from 1st April 1991 under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990.
