Hope that makes sense....well I know what I mean
Hi
We are not set up to do it, we can charge admin costs on top of treatment.
Many countries are set up to do it, many in the EU and most certainly many Tourist Destinations.
We have a system here which is very different to other Countries.
This is not a criticism of our NHS, just a fact of life.
We are not very good at introducing new technology in any Government Department.
Our Benefits system is also very different to others.
My son was fully covered by Health Insurance in Taiwan when he was working.
When he lost his job due to Epilepsy, all Benefits ceased, including Health Insurance.
We tend to look at things from our experience here in the UK.
It is very different in other Countries.
