The National Health Service (Dental Charges) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
- Department: Department of Health and Social Care
- Made under: National Health Service Act 2006
The 2025 regulations amended the 2005 regulations to increase charges for NHS dental treatments across different treatment bands in England.
The National Health Service (Dental Charges) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, effective April 1st, 2025, increase several NHS dental treatment charges in England.
These increases, specified in Regulation 2, amend the 2005 Regulations to adjust charges for Bands 1, 2, and 3 treatments.
The explanatory note justifies the changes as routine inflation adjustments, asserting that a full impact assessment is unnecessary due to the lack of policy changes and continued eligibility for exemptions.
The National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
- Department: Department of Health and Social Care
- Made under: National Health Service Act 2006
The 2025 regulations amended the 2012 regulations on NHS commissioning board and clinical commissioning group responsibilities, updating payment rates for nursing care and clarifying responsibilities for healthcare services in immigration removal centers.
These regulations amend the 2012 National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations.
Key changes include updating the rates for NHS-funded nursing care, increasing the ‘flat rate payment’ from £235.88 to £254.06 and the ‘high band payment’ from £324.50 to £349.50.
The regulations also remove references to secure training centers from NHS England's commissioning responsibilities, focusing instead solely on immigration removal centers.
These amendments took effect on April 1st, 2025, and apply to England only, having been made under the authority of the National Health Service Act 2006.
