§ Mr. PawseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many visitors from overseas were treated by the National Health Service in each year since 1980; and what was the cost.
§ Mr. FreemanWe do not hold information centrally on the number of overseas visitors treated by the National Health Service or the cost of their treatment. Such visitors are normally charged for hospital treatment unless they are from a country with which we have a reciprocal agreement.
