HC Deb 14 February 1992 vol 203 cc657-8W
Mr. Dicks

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many foreign nationals have received free treatment under the national health service over the past three years; and what has been the cost to the NHS of this provision.

Mrs Virginia Bottomley

This information is not held centrally.

Anyone not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom has to pay for NHS hospital treatment unless he or she is covered by one of a number of specific exemptions.
