HC Deb 20 March 1968 vol 761 cc116-7W
Mr. Wilkins

asked the Minister of Health with which countries have reciprocal medical and/or hospital treatment been arranged for British visitors; and what is the extent of the services provided.

Mr. K. Robinson

We have reciprocal arrangements with Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Yugoslavia for the use of their health services, including hospital treatment, by British people generally, including short-term visitors; similar agreements with Poland and Bulgaria have recently been signed but have not yet been implemented. There are reciprocal arrangements of a more limited kind, applying to British residents abroad, with many other countries.

What is available in each case is the service provided under the domestic legislation of the country concerned.
