Re: "Health Tourists take precedence over British Patients !
I think it's time NHS did collect money from them SG I am told there is no way for NHS to process payments but I find that hard to believe and it shouldn't be so. Friends of ours involved in a car crash certainly got a bill, their insurance paid it. So if the will is there they can.Re: "Health Tourists take precedence over British Patients !

I can guarantee health tourist do not take priority over NHS patient's. They have private health insurance. It has long been known if you have private health care you jump the list even in NHS.Re: "Health Tourists take precedence over British Patients !
I've always said anyone coming into our country from abroad should pay for health insurance like we do when we travel outside our country . We wouldn't travel abroad without it would we , and it can cost a fortune for us to be covered . Yet , anyone can come here , and go into hospital with an emergency and be taken in immediately , meaning those waiting for beds or ops or treatment get pushed down the line .Re: "Health Tourists take precedence over British Patients !
I still think of that b.....dy pregnant woman from Nigeria who hopped on a plane to London and booked herself in to give birth to her 5 or was it 6 babies. As you can imagine, it cost 4 figures to look after her and when she was ready she flew back home to her rich husband with her babies. She was billed for the care she received but guess what, she refused to pay!! what did they do? just wrote it off....... words fail me.Re: "Health Tourists take precedence over British Patients !
