EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Regulation and Improvement Authority (Fees and Frequency of Inspection) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005. Regulation 5 and its table are amended in order to correct errors in relation to the calculation of the annual fee payable in respect of certain establishments and agencies and the entries in the Table. The regulations also provide for an annual fee to be payable in respect of Independent Medical Agencies.

The annual fee for Residential Care Homes, Nursing Homes, Children's Homes and Independent Hospitals is now calculated by multiplying the rate payable for each approved place by the number of approved places. The amount of the annual fee payable for Independent Clinics and Independent Medical agencies is £215.
