The Regional Pressure Setting, isn't in effect a 'QNH' per se - it's a pressure datum value provided by the Met Office which has been tweaked slightly to assure that terrain avoidance will still be achieved within an entire ASR.

This whole topic is now under review as part of the ongoing Transition Altitude Harmonisation programme.

Hopefully this will result in fewer, but larger Altimeter Setting Areas.
