We are responsible for regulating independent hospitals, voluntary hospices, private psychiatric hospitals and independent clinics.
Regulation fees are charged to providers wishing to register a service with us.
Fees policy
The maximum fees that may be imposed by Healthcare Improvement Scotland for 2025/26 and 2026/27 are prescribed in Scottish Statutory Instrument (SSI) 2024/130.
The timescale for processing registrations, once the fee has been paid, is a minimum of 3 months.
No payment should be made until the registration fee request has been issued by the team.
Please be advised that the registration fee is non-refundable, and an early payment fee does not mean that your application will be processed any faster.
Fees structure
Detailed information on the regulation fees structure that will apply in 2025/26 and 2026/27 can be found in information booklet below.
