This comes as figures have shown a new breed of tourism has appeared, Health tourism, which costs the NHS a reported \u00a31.8 billion or 0.3% of its budget. This also includes UK citizens who live abroad and return to the UK for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pilot scheme has also been\u00a0running in several Hospital including Stamford Hospitals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/\">NHS Foundation Trust<\/a>. There, patients are to bring a birth certificate, passport and other documents like bank statements or utility bills for new appointments. The chief executive, Stephen Graves, said: \u201cThere has not been any impact on the number of non-UK residents coming through the system for treatment, but we do now identify non-eligible patients sooner and at a higher volume than previously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government also plans to save \u00a3500 million to recoup the costs from the past\u00a0years and feels charging foreign nationals is a necessary cause. Despite\u00a0the Governments justified reason there still seems to be an opposition who feel the measure is tough and could have dangerous repercussions. One person from a local practitioner has warned that \u201cIf migrants know that doctors and other healthcare professionals will actively liaise with the Home Office to deport them then they will avoid seeking healthcare. That\u2019s hugely dangerous \u2013 especially in pregnant women, because without prompt early access to healthcare they stand a much higher risk of presenting as an emergency later on, potentially with much worse outcomes.\u201d This is something the Government must take into account to avoid scrutiny in the near future and to any problems with this new law in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-we-help\"><span id=\"how-can-we-help\">How can we help?<\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you would like more information on NHS charges, please contact\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/icslegal.com\/contact-us\">ICS Legal<\/a>.
