Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish in full the findings of his Department’s review into the functioning of the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Amendment) Regulations 2017.
The Department has no plans to produce and publish a formal review document or the evidence collected as part of it. A summary of the findings was laid in Parliament via a Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS1174) on 12 December 2018 and further details have been shared with contributors to the review. We will continue to keep the impact of the regulations under close review, working closely with our stakeholders.
