Injury Costs Recovery Scheme

June 2007

The NHS Injury Costs Recovery (ICR) scheme came into force earlier this year and expands the cases where the NHS can reclaim the cost of treating injured patients where personal injury compensation is paid. The ICR scheme replaced the previous Road Traffic Act scheme.

The ICR scheme is more wide ranging than the previous scheme which, in 2005/06 recovered £120 million. As it takes on average 18 months to settle claims it will take some time before the full impact of the new scheme is known.

The ICR scheme seeks to recover charges where a personal injury compensation payment has been made and the injured person has:

  • received NHS treatment at a NHS hospital as a result of the injury
  • been provided with NHS ambulance services as a result of the injury
  • received treatment at a NHS hospital and has been provided with NHS ambulance services.
