Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 April 2014, amend the Health Entitlement Cards Regulations 1993.
The amendments raise the income entitlement thresholds that are used to determine a person’s eligibility for a community services card. These increases reflect a 1.38% increase in the New Zealand Consumers Price Index from the December 2012 quarter to the December 2013 quarter (calculated for all quarters using the Consumers Price Index (All Groups), excluding cigarettes and other tobacco products).
Date of notification in Gazette: 27 February 2014.
