	tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
	uin	3433
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2015 answer text <p>In setting the amount of the charge, the last Government considered the range of health services available without charge to migrants, the valuable contribution migrants make to our country and the need to ensure that the UK remains an attractive destination for global talent.</p><p>Taking these factors into account, the Government set the charge at £200 per annum, per migrant (with a discounted rate of £150 per annum for students). This is well below the average per capita cost to the NHS of treating temporary migrants. It is also below the rate that migrants might expect to pay for health insurance in our competitor countries. An Impact Assessment published in October 2013 (entitled ‘Regulating migrant access to health services in the UK’), provides further detail.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 30/06/2015 15:52:07 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
