Medical Devices (Fees Amendments) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/530)

1.1 The Committee draws the special attention of both Houses to these Regulations on the ground that they are defectively drafted in one respect.

1.2 In a memorandum printed at Appendix 1, the Department for Health confirms that regulation 2(3)(d), which reduces a fee from £1,650 to £1,173, should instead have increased it to £1, 743, and undertakes to make an amending instrument to come into force in May.

1.3 The Committee accordingly reports regulation 2(3)(d) for defective drafting, acknowledged by the Department.
