Re: Jeremy Hunt Apology
If you have an EHIC card then you entitled to the same treatment as a Member of the E U country that you are in, so every other E U country does not charge for the full cost of treatment, and I think I may be right in saying that they do not charge anything .

The government are determined to ignore public opinion.

Although the government think we are all revolting any way

I have to disagree Norway.
If you have an EHIC the cost of treatment is charged to the Country which issued the card.
We unfortunately do not routinely charge and the NHS have been given targets to meet to recover costs that they should be charging for.
It is costing the UK Billions a year, all down to NHS failures.
The way we give them out is also a nonsense.

This is still going on.

Someone said labour don't do joined up mathematics well neither do tories in this aspect IMO it will destroy us eventually I believe and rarely helps those it's aimed at.

Totally agree ruthio.
I am all in favour of a ring fenced tax, shown separately, a common practice in other countries.
It should also include adult social services with are really part of health care costs.
This would allow huge amounts of management costs to be eliminated altogether.
