Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This legal instrument sets the daily hospital patient fee (called a "patient contribution") for people receiving care in New South Wales public hospitals.

What it does:

Revokes (cancels) all previous fee amounts set for NSW hospitals
Sets the new daily fee at $35.80 per day
Takes effect from 20 March 2006

Who it affects: Patients admitted to "recognized hospitals" in New South Wales (typically public hospitals) who are required to pay a daily contribution toward their accommodation costs. This fee is set under the Commonwealth Health Insurance Act 1973.

Why it matters: It determines how much money patients in NSW public hospitals needed to pay per day for their hospital stay, directly affecting out-of-pocket costs for medical care.
