question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effect on (a) patient waiting times and (b) staff administration of the changes introduced by the National Health Service (Changes to Overseas Visitors) (Amendment) Regulations 2017.
tabling member constituency	Oxford West and Abingdon
tabling member printed	Layla Moran
uin	110831
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>The United Kingdom has a residence based healthcare system, so overseas visitors are chargeable for National Health Service care unless an exemption category applies in the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2015. Longstanding guidance to the NHS has advised that overseas visitors should pay in advance of accessing NHS care where their needs are non-urgent, meaning that care can safely wait until they return to their country of residence. From 23 October 2017 this has become a legal requirement, set out in the Regulations.</p><p> </p><p>Prior to committing to this change in law, the Government carefully considered the impact it may have. The requirement to pay upfront before accessing non-urgent care does not affect a chargeable overseas visitor’s access to services, except insofar as they are required to pay in advance of receiving non-urgent care. Urgent or immediately necessary care is provided regardless of whether upfront payment has been received. Only clinicians can assess the level of urgency. Consequently there is not expected to be an effect on patient waiting times.</p><p> </p><p>The estimated effects on staff administration costs of the introduced amendment regulations to extend and improve the recovery of costs of overseas visitors and migrants using the NHS who are not eligible for free care are estimated to be £1.7 million in 17/18 and £3.9 million for each subsequent year. This is on top of costs currently incurred in charging non-eligible patients.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 08/11/2017 11:01:14 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
