uin	284528
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Doctors will not be required to determine patient’s entitlement for free National Health Service healthcare 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 United Kingdom for those patients identified as not eligible for NHS-funded care, as this will determine when payment has to be taken.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 09/09/2019 18:29:56 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

This includes being able to access National Health Service care without charge on the basis that they are ordinarily resident in the UK, and the NHS will apply the same eligibility tests as it does now.

This is subject to agreement by individual EU Member States.</p><p>For those Spanish and Portuguese citizens visiting the UK after exit day, if agreed under bilateral agreements with Spain and Portugal, visitors will be able to use their EHIC as they do now. Should individual countries not agree to continue reciprocal healthcare, then access to healthcare cover for visitors from those countries may change.</p><p>Visitors from Spain or Portugal to the UK whose visit begins before and continues over exit day will still be able to use their EHIC during that visit, should they fall ill or have a medical emergency.</p><p>We welcome action from EU Member States such as Spain and Portugal who have prepared their own legislation for a ‘no deal’ scenario.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 05/09/2019 16:39:25 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
