Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what amount is owed from each European Economic Area country in respect of healthcare provided to citizens of those countries by the NHS.

European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland reimburse the United Kingdom for the cost of the National Health Service providing treatment to people they are responsible for under European Union law, including UK nationals insured in another EEA country or Switzerland.

Member States can submit claims up to 18 months in arrears. Therefore, claims for any 12 month period do not necessarily reflect treatment provided in that period.

The attached table provides information about how much was paid to the UK for NHS provided treatments for 2015-2016, the latest year available, broken down by country of destination.
