§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Social Services which member countries of the European Economic Community, apart from the United Kingdom, meet the full cost of medical treatment to visitors under reciprocal health service arrangements.
§ Mr. MoyleAll the EEC countries meet the cost of treatment, except for charges normally levied on insured patients resident in those countries, when this is provided for visitors from other EEC countries under the EEC Regulations on Social Security for Migrant Workers. Each EEC country may also have various reciprocal health arrangements with similar terms for visitors from non-EEC countries or for EEC visitors not covered by the regulations, but I regret that full details are not available to me.
