	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the extent to which the changes brought in by National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 may exacerbate health inequalities; whether they have made any further estimate of the savings to be made since publishing their impact assessment; if so, what is the difference between those two estimates; and whether they plan to reconsider those changes.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>Following a detailed public consultation that ran from December 2015 to March 2016, the Government set out in its response to that consultation in February 2017 that it intended to amend the existing Charging Regulations. Over the course of the consultation and decision-making process, the Government carefully considered the impact the changes may have on public health, health inequalities and on vulnerable groups. The regulations providing for these changes were introduced on 19 July 2017 alongside a published impact assessment which estimated that the net income per annum as a result of the new regulations would be up to £40 million per year. While the Government monitors the implementation of the regulations and their effects, no further estimates on the net income have been made since the publication of the impact assessment.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 18/10/2017 09:36:33 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
