^F86375B Reimbursement of the cost of services provided in another EEA State ¶

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

75BA Reimbursement of the cost of services provided in another EEA State where expenditure is incurred on or after 25 October 2013.¶

1 This section applies where qualifying EEA expenditure is incurred by a person on or after 25 October 2013 (but see subsections (9) and (14) and section 75BC).

2 A Health Board must, on an application made by the person, reimburse to that person the amount of the qualifying EEA expenditure incurred by that person, but this is subject to subsections (8) and (9), to any limit applicable under subsection (11) and to any deduction applicable under section 75D.

3 For the purpose of this section, “qualifying EEA expenditure” is expenditure incurred on the provision by an authorised provider, in an EEA State ^F865..., to a person ordinarily resident in Scotland (“the patient”) of services as respects which condition A or condition B is met.

4 Condition A is that the services—

a are necessary to treat or diagnose a medical condition of the patient, and

b are the same as or equivalent to services that a Health Board in whose area a patient resides would make or have made available to a patient under this Act in the circumstances of the patient’s case.

5 But in the case of services which, although meeting the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (4), fall within subsection (6), condition A is only met if, before the services were provided, the Health Board had given authorisation under section 75BB for the provision of the services to the patient.

6 Services fall within this subsection if—

a they are subject to planning requirements relating to the objective of ensuring sufficient and permanent access to a balanced range of high quality treatment or to the wish to control costs and avoid, as far as possible, any waste of financial, technical and human resources, and—

i involve a stay in hospital accommodation for at least one night, or

ii require the use of highly specialised and cost-intensive medical infrastructure or medical equipment,

b they involve treatments presenting a particular risk for the patient or the population, or

c they are provided by a healthcare provider in circumstances that, on a case-by-case basis, could give rise to serious and specific concerns relating to the quality or safety of the care, with the exception of healthcare services which are subject to European Union legislation ensuring a minimum level of safety and quality throughout the European Union.

7 Condition B is that before the services were provided the Health Board had given authorisation under section 75BB(4)(b) for the provision of the services to the patient.

8 The duty in subsection (2) does not apply where the applicant for reimbursement incurred the qualifying EEA expenditure in connection with an arrangement which was entered into by or on behalf of the applicant in the course of business and under which the applicant has gained or might be expected to gain any financial benefit.

9 This section does not apply in circumstances where Article 20 or 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No. 883/2004 apply.

10 Subsection (11) applies where the services are the same as or equivalent to services that the Health Board in whose area a patient resides would have made available to that patient under this Act in the circumstances of the patient’s case.

11 The Health Board may limit the amount of any reimbursement under this section to the cost that the Board would have incurred if the same or an equivalent service had been made available by the Board to a patient resident in the Board’s area.

12 A Health Board may, on an application made by a person who receives reimbursement of qualifying expenditure under paragraph (2), reimburse to that person travelling expenses (including the travelling expenses of companions) incurred or to be incurred for the purpose of their obtaining any services reimbursed under this section.

13 The Scottish Ministers may determine—

a the form in which an application under this section must be made, and

b the information to be provided in support of the application.

14 This section does not apply where expenditure is incurred in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway before Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare applies to that state in accordance with the EEA Agreement.

15 In this section and section 75BB—

“authorised provider” in relation to services provided in an EEA State means a person who is lawfully providing services,
“services” includes any goods, including drugs, medicines and appliances which are used or supplied in connection with the provision of a service, but does not include accommodation other than hospital accommodation.

75BB Prior authorisation for the purposes of section 75BA¶

1 A person may apply to a Health Board under this section for prior authorisation for the purposes of section 75BA in relation to the provision of services (“the requested services”) to a person ordinarily resident in Scotland (“the patient”).

2 The requested services must be—

a services which fall within section 75BA(6) and meet the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 75BA(4), or

b services that are neither the same as nor equivalent to services that a Health Board in whose area the patient resides would make available to the patient under this Act in the circumstances of the patient’s case.

3 The Scottish Ministers may determine—

a the form in which an application under this section must be made, and

b the information to be provided in support of the application.

4 A Health Board—

a must authorise the provision of the requested services if they are services mentioned in subsection (2)(a) (but see subsection (5)), and

b may authorise the provision of the requested services in any case where—

i the requested services are necessary to treat or diagnose a medical condition of the patient, and

ii the duty in paragraph (a) does not apply.

5 The duty in subsection (4)(a) does not apply if at least one of the following conditions is met—

a by receiving the requested services the patient would, according to a clinical evaluation, be exposed with reasonable certainty to a patient-safety risk that cannot be regarded as acceptable, taking into account the potential benefit for the patient of the requested service,

b the general public will be exposed with reasonable certainty to a substantial safety hazard as a result of the requested service,

c the requested service is to be provided by a healthcare provider that raises serious and specific concerns relating to the respect of standards and guidelines on quality of care and patient safety, including provisions on supervision, whether these standards and guidelines are laid down by laws or regulations or through accreditation systems established by the state in which the requested services will be provided,

d the Health Board can provide to the patient services that are the same as or equivalent to the requested services within a period of time that is medically justifiable, taking into account the patient’s state of health at the time the decision under this section is made and the probable course of the medical condition to which the requested services relate.

6 The matters to which a Health Board is to have regard in determining for the purpose of subsection (5)(d) whether the length of any delay is medically justifiable include—

a the patient’s medical history,

b the extent of any pain, disability, discomfort or other suffering that is attributable to the medical condition to which the requested services are to relate,

c whether any such pain, disability, discomfort or suffering makes it impossible or extremely difficult for the patient to carry out ordinary daily tasks, and

d the extent to which the provision of the requested services would be likely to alleviate, or enable the alleviation of, the pain, disability, discomfort or suffering.

7 In section 75D (deduction of NHS charges)—

a in subsection (1) after “75B(1)” insert “or 75BA”;

b in subsection (2) after “75C” insert “or 75BA and 75BB”.

2 Condition 1 is that the service began to be provided to the person before IP completion day.

3 Condition 2 is that—

a the application for authorisation under section 75BB in relation to the provision of the service to the person was made before IP completion day, and

99ZA Recovery of charges and payments.¶

1 Where goods or services to which this section applies are provided and either—

a any charge payable by any person under this Act in respect of the provision of the goods or services is reduced, remitted or repaid, but that person is not entitled to the reduction, remission or repayment; or

b any payment under this Act is made to, or for the benefit of, any person in respect of the cost of obtaining the goods or services but that person is not entitled to, or to the benefit of, the payment,

the amount mentioned in subsection (2) is recoverable as a debt from the person in question by the responsible authority.

2 That amount—

a in a case within subsection (1)(a), is the amount of the charge or (where it has been reduced) reduction;

b in a case within subsection (1)(b), is the amount of the payment.

3 Where two or more persons are liable under section 99 or this section to pay an amount in respect of the same charge or payment, those persons shall be jointly and severally liable.

4 For the purposes of this section, the circumstances in which a person is to be treated as not entitled to a reduction, remission or repayment of a charge, or to (or to the benefit of) a payment, include in particular those in which it is received (wholly or partly)—

a on the ground that he or another is a person of a particular description, where the person in question is not in fact of that description;

b on the ground that he or another holds a particular certificate, when the person in question does not in fact hold such a certificate or does hold such a certificate but is not entitled to it;

c on the ground that he or another has made a particular statement, when the person in question has not made such a statement or the statement made by him is false.

5 In this section and section 99ZB, “responsible authority” means—

c in a case within subsection (1)(b), the person who made the payment.

6 But the Secretary of State may by directions provide for—

2 The regulations may not provide for the amount of the penalty charge to exceed whichever is the smaller of—

4 Regulations may provide that, if a person fails to pay the amount he is required to pay under a penalty notice within the period in question, he must also pay to the responsible authority by way of penalty a further sum determined in accordance with the regulations.

5 The further sum must not exceed 50 per cent. of the amount of the penalty charge.

6 Any sum payable under the regulations (including the amount referred to in subsection (1)(a) or (b)) may be recovered by the responsible authority as a debt.

7 But a person is not liable by virtue of a penalty notice—

a to pay at any time so much of any amount referred to in subsection (1)(a) or (b) for which he is jointly and severally liable with another as at that time has been paid, or ordered by a court to be paid, by that other; or

b to a penalty charge, or a further sum by way of penalty, if he shows that he did not act wrongfully, or with any lack of care, in respect of the charge or payment in question.

8 Section 99ZA and this section apply to charges which may be made and recovered under section 20 of the ^M33National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 as they apply to charges under this Act which may be recovered under section 99; and the reference to this Act in section 99ZA(7)(a) includes a reference to a pilot scheme (within the meaning of the 1997 Act).

2 Election regulations may specify different days for the first election in different Health Board areas.

3 A Health Board must hold subsequent Health Board elections on the first Thursday falling after the end of the period of 4 years beginning with the day of the previous election.

4 But a Health Board election may be held in a Health Board area before the day specified in sub-paragraph (3) if the Scottish Ministers make an order under section 77 specifying the date of a Health Board election in that area.

Electoral wards¶

1 Each Health Board area is to be comprised of a single electoral ward unless election regulations specify that a Health Board area is to be divided into more than one ward.

2 If regulations specify such a division they must also specify—

a the number of electoral wards in the Health Board area,

b the boundaries of those wards, and

c the number of elected members to be elected in each ward.

3 Before regulations specifying such a division are made—

a the Scottish Ministers must consult the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland, and

b the Commission must give the Scottish Ministers advice about the boundaries of the electoral wards which the Health Board is to be divided into.

Conduct of election¶

1 Election regulations must appoint an individual as the returning officer for each ward in which a Health Board election is to be held.

2 Election regulations may make provision about—

a the tenure and vacation of office of a returning officer,

b the functions of a returning officer,

c a returning officer's fees and expenses,

d any other matters relating to returning officers that the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate.

1 The nomination of a candidate must be made—

a within the period specified in election regulations (the “nomination period”), and

b in accordance with any other requirement made in those regulations.

2 A candidate may withdraw from a Health Board election at any time before the end of the nomination period.

6If, at the end of the nomination period, the number of nominated candidates in an electoral ward is equal to or less than the number of elected members to be elected for that ward—

a the Health Board election is not to be held in the ward, and

b on the day on which the election was to be held the returning officer must—

i declare the nominated candidates (if any) to be deemed to have been elected as elected members for the ward, and

ii if the number of nominated candidates is less than the number of elected members to be elected for the ward, declare the number of vacancies in the ward.

1 In any other case, the elected members are to be elected for the electoral ward at a poll held in accordance with this paragraph.

2 At the poll, each individual entitled to vote may vote by marking on the ballot paper—

a the voter's first preference from among the candidates, and

b if the voter wishes to express a further preference for one or more candidates, the voter's second and, if the voter wishes, subsequent preferences from among those candidates.

3 Election regulations must, in particular, make provision about—

b the form and content of ballot papers,

c the manner in which the number of votes which will secure the return of a candidate as an elected member is to be calculated,

d the procedure for counting votes,

e the declaration of the result of the poll.

and, in particular, may disqualify from being a candidate an individual holding a post set out in a list of restricted posts maintained by the Health Board concerned for that purpose.

Franchise¶

1 An individual is entitled to vote at a Health Board election if the individual—

a is aged 16 or over, and

b meets any further criteria specified in election regulations.

2 Such further criteria may, in particular, provide that an individual is entitled to vote at a Health Board election only if the individual—

a is registered in the register of local government electors in respect of an address in the Health Board area, and

b would be entitled to vote at a local government election in an electoral area falling wholly or partly in the Health Board area (or would be so entitled if aged 18 or over).

3 Election regulations may determine, or set out the criteria for determining, the electoral ward in which an individual is entitled to vote.

4 Election regulations may not entitle an individual to vote—

a more than once in the same Health Board area, nor

b in more than one Health Board area.

Election expenses¶

10Election regulations may make provision about the expenses which may be incurred by any person in connection with a Health Board election.

Vacancies¶

1 This paragraph applies if—

a a returning officer declares a vacancy in an electoral ward (see paragraph 6), or

b an elected member vacates office before the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 10A(1) of Schedule 1.

2 The Scottish Ministers may—

a direct the Health Board with the vacancy to invite an unelected candidate to fill the vacancy, or

b appoint, in accordance with any provision made by election regulations, an individual to fill the vacancy.

3 If a vacancy arises less than 6 months before the date of the next Health Board election in the Health Board area where it arises, the Scottish Ministers may, instead of taking action under sub-paragraph (2), direct the Health Board to leave the vacancy unfilled until that next election.

4 An individual who fills a vacancy is to be deemed to be an elected member of the Health Board elected for the ward in which the vacancy occurred.

5 In sub-paragraph (2)(a), an “unelected candidate” is an individual who—

a was a nominated candidate in the last Health Board election to be held in the Health Board area, and

ii to allow any act to be done, for that purpose; or

b a person—

i gives valuable consideration to a person carrying on the practice (or employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice); and

ii succeeds, or has previously succeeded, to the practice.

^F6335 Sub-paragraph (4) does not apply—

a if it is proved that no part of the consideration was given in respect of the goodwill; or

b to anything done—

i in relation to the acquisition of premises for the purposes of a medical practice;

ii in pursuance of a partnership agreement; or

iii in the performance of medical services by one person as an assistant to another.

6 In determining for the purposes of section 35(1) and this Schedule the consideration given in respect of any transaction, the court shall have regard to any other transaction appearing to the court to be associated with the first transaction, and shall estimate the total consideration given in respect of both or all the transactions, and shall apportion it between those transactions in such manner as it thinks just.

7 For the purposes of section 35 and this Schedule—

a consideration is deemed to be given to a person (“B") if—

i it is given to another person but with B’s knowledge and consent; and

ii it appears to the court that B has derived, or will derive, a substantial benefit from the giving of the consideration; and

b unless the context otherwise requires, references to a person include, in the case of an individual who has died, references to his personal representative.

Carried-over goodwill¶

^F6353The fact that a person’s medical practice was previously carried on by another person who at any time provided or performed services as specified in section 35(1) does not, by itself, make it unlawful under section 35(1) for the goodwill of his practice to be sold.

2If any objection is duly made the Secretary of State shall afford to the said owner an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person appointed by him for the purpose; and after considering any such objection and the report of the person so appointed by him, the Secretary of State shall either withdraw the notice aforesaid or serve upon the owner a notice confirming that notice.

7Where any sum by way of compensation is paid in accordance with this Schedule in respect of any property and, at the time when the compensation accrues due, the property is subject to any pledge, lien or right in security, the sum so paid shall be deemed to be subject to that pledge, lien or right.
