HC Deb 08 December 1970 vol 808 c79W
76. Mr. McElhone

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many American visitors have received free medical treatment over the past three years, and what is the approximate cost to public funds.

Mr. Dean

Since the start of the National Health Service we have always provided treatment for visitors to this country where the need for treatment arises during their visit but no figures are available.
