NHS trusts only received a third of the £91million they billed 'health tourists' last year

NHS trusts only received a third of the £91million they billed 'health tourists' last year NHS hospitals only managed to claim back 38 per cent of the money they billed health tourists from outside of Europe last year.

Just £35million out of a £91m total was reclaimed by the health service for care it provided to citizens from countries not in European Economic Area.

London hospital trusts were the worst affected, in some cases getting paid only £1 for every £10 they were owed and writing off more than £4million in a year. The Daily Mail
