The National Assistance (Residential Accommodation) (Disregarding of Resources) (England) Regulations 2001
The Health and Social Care Act 2001 (c. 15) amended section 21 of the National Assistance Act 1948 (c. 29) by substituting subsections (2A) and (2B). The new subsections provide that regulations may specify certain of the person’s resources which the local authority shall disregard when deciding for the purposes of section 21(1)(a) or (aa) whether or not the person needs care and attention which is not otherwise available to him.
