answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2016 answer text <p>Anyone who is not ordinarily resident in England is deemed an overseas visitor and is subject to the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2015. These regulations place a legal duty on National Health Service hospitals to establish whether an overseas visitor is chargeable or is exempt from charge under one of a number of exemption categories.</p><p> </p><p>NHS trusts will have their own local data on the status of non-United Kingdom nationals receiving NHS care. This enables them to charge for that care where applicable. However, trusts are only obliged to report totals for amounts charged and recovered. They are not required to include information about the patient’s residency, nationality or migration status. Trusts report amounts charged and recovered as part of their own local accounts process.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/03/2016 11:16:02 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
