i read an article about
all that visit here (polite version) must by Govt. rules be allowed to register at any doctors surgery
regardless of status or country of origin
but that has been removed from any search that i endeavour
any help here would be gratefully received ...

What? None of the rabid right-wing xenophobic papers not carrying this? I'm sure I saw it on the front page of The Sun or Mail in the news agents today.
Or maybe it's a non-story. The rule runs both ways - EU countries have to treat a Uk citizen if they need it. With the right paperwork, the NHS will pick up the tab too.

I read that article and three things struck me: - £40 million of free treatment is 0.00038% of the annual NHS budget.
- GPs and PCTs should grow a pair. I doubt the DWP shakes in its boots every time it receives a threat from a solicitor.
- The Department of Health should tighten guidance in order to reduce the threat of legal action.

And that £40 million was accrued over three years. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

If it is a problem it could easily be solved by not letting visitors past the immigration desk unless they have proof of medical insurance. When I went to the US, they wanted proof that I had a return flight out of the country booked.

i agree anyone coming here should have medical insurance but that falls down when they come here illegally ...
