HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 cc144-5W
72. Captain Crowder

asked the Minister of Health whether his regulations entitle foreign nationals on a short visit to Great Britain to full benefit under the National Health Scheme, including the replacement of dentures or spectacles.

Mr. Bevan

Yes.

77. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that all persons whether aliens or not landing at United Kingdom ports are to be provided with hospital and special treatment free of charge; and what is the yearly estimate of cost of this practice.

Mr. Bevan

Yes, if they need them. The cost of treating aliens cannot be estimated but is likely to be small.
