HC Deb 14 January 1971 vol 809 c104W
Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will name those countries with which the United Kingdom has agreed reciprocal arrangements for the free provision of medical and hospital care for tourists.

Mr. Alison

Reciprocal agreements with Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Yugoslavia provide for British tourists to receive medical and hospital treatment on the same basis as insured persons in the countries concerned. The Services available are not always entirely free. Similar facilities for tourists are also available in New Zealand, by virtue of that country's legislation.
