Foreign patients flee the country owing the NHS ?7million

[super jumbe]

Outraged Tory MP Priti Patel said: ?It is unacceptable foreign patients have misused our NHS this way.?

Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner, who unearthed the information, said: ?I?m shocked taxpayers foot a ?7million yearly bill for overseas patients. We pay for a national health service not an international health service.?

A Department of Health spokesman said: ?Anyone with an unpaid debt to the NHS will be refused a new visa until the debt is paid.?



I can not get away with free prescription without showing my benefits and how the foreigners can get away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The system wants updating?????????..
