answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department on behalf of the United Kingdom Government reimburses other European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland for the cost of providing treatment to people we are responsible for under European Union law, irrespective of nationality. In the same way, other EEA countries and Switzerland reimburse the UK for the cost of the National Health Service providing treatment to people they are responsible for under European Union law, including UK nationals insured in another EEA country or Switzerland.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the complexities associated with collecting and aggregating information on costs and treatment, claims for EEA medical costs are typically submitted by EEA member states (including the UK) up to three, and sometimes more, years in arrears. Therefore, claims for any 12 month period do not necessarily reflect treatment provided in that period.</p><p> </p><p>The attached table provides information about how much was paid to the UK, nearest to the pound, for NHS provided treatments for 2015-16 broken down by country of destination.</p><p> </p><p>For non-EEA countries without a reciprocal agreement in place with the UK, it would be for the individual to pay for any healthcare needed and for that reason appropriate travel and medical insurance is highly advisable. Similarly, for those non-EEA countries with whom the UK does have a reciprocal healthcare agreement, no money changes hands between the parties to the agreement. The basis of these agreements is reciprocity – that is, necessary healthcare is provided in most cases free of charge to the visitor and the associated costs are absorbed by either side.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 03/07/2017 16:31:02 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne attachment 1 file name PQ973 attached table.docx title PQ973 attached table
