answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Doctors will not be required to determine patients’ entitlement for free National Health Service care in any European Union exit scenario. A clinician’s role is to provide the relevant healthcare for patients and make decisions on their treatment based on their clinical needs. Clinicians will at times be required to make a decision on whether treatment is immediately necessary, urgent or can safely wait until the individual leaves the UK for those patients identified as not eligible for NHS-funded care, as this will determine when payment has to be taken.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working closely with other Government departments and the NHS to ensure that NHS staff receive appropriate information in relation to any changes to policy or procedure as a result of leaving the EU in a timely and appropriate manner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 09/09/2019 18:47:46 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
