Claims by, and to, the UK for treatment relating to EHICs, are included in a larger category which also includes pre-authorised planned treatments and coverage for posted and frontier workers. It should be noted that Member States, including the UK, can submit claims up to 18 months in arrears so claims for any 12 month period do not necessarily reflect treatment provided in that period.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 18/09/2017 12:15:50 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne attachment 1 file name PQ10089 attached table.xlsx title PQ10089 attached table
