Although access to the NHS is usually based on residence in the UK, in January the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) decided that overseas visitors would not be charged for testing for COVID-19 (even if the test is negative) nor for treatment for COVID-19 in the UK. We advise British nationals overseas to follow the advice of the local health and government authorities, and this includes following their testing regime.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 29/04/2020 15:12:03 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
