National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/244)
Agenda item 4 is consideration of a negative instrument: the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023. The purpose of the instrument is to increase NHS optical voucher values by 4.5 per cent from 1 June 2023. The instrument amends the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 1998. That will ensure that the values of NHS optical vouchers issued in Scotland continue to match the values of those issued elsewhere in the UK.
The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument at its meeting on 2 May 2023 and made no recommendations in relation to it. No motion to annul has been lodged in relation to the instrument.
As members have no comments to make, I propose that the committee make no recommendations in relation to the negative instrument.
Members indicated agreement.
That concludes the public part of our meeting.
