answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information.</p><p> </p><p>However, an independent analysis report commissioned by the Department to better understand the use and cost of treating overseas visitors and migrants was published on 22 October 2013. This report shows that the cost of treating all visitors and migrants is estimated to be around £2 billion per year. This includes some groups who were entitled to free National Health Service treatment either by being ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, or exempt from charges under Regulations. However, of the £2 billion it is estimated that around £500 million is recoverable under the current charging regulations and the current application of the regulations.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 27/11/2017 12:19:55 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
