The National Health Service (Coronavirus) (Charges and Further Amendments Relating to the Provision of Primary Care Services During a Pandemic etc.) Regulations 2020
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) Regulations 2015, which include the charges that are payable for the supply of NHS drugs and appliances in England. Those Regulations are amended so that the Secretary of State may, in a pandemic situation, waive or modify requirements in respect of forms and providing evidence. There is, for example, a requirement on a person paying a charge to sign a declaration that they have done so, and a requirement on a person claiming certain exemptions from paying a charge to complete a declaration of entitlement to the exemption (regulation 2(2)).
