DAILY MAIL; AFTER 69 YEARS NHS HOSPITALS TO VERIFY RESIDENCE IN UK OF PATIENTS :TWO ITEMS OF IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED..

FOR 69 YEARS UK HOSPITALS HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO CHECK RESIDENCE OF PATIENTS.  NOW WILL CHARGE FOR MEDICAL SERVICES TO NON UK RESIDENT PATIENTS. SOME LEFTY REACTION BY 'DOCS NOT COPS'. IN PAST WAS COMMON FOR EUROPEANS TO TRAVEL TO UK FOR BIRTHS AND OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES. NAIVELY THE MENTION OF A LOCAL ADDRESS WAS ENOUGH. AS NHS DOCTORS  PAID BY TIME THERE WAS NO EFFORT TO STOP THIS ILLEGAL PRACTICE. NOW WITH NHS IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE THIS WASTE OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY HAS TO STOP.

EU HEALTH CARD HOLDERS WILL STILL BE COVERED FOR EMERGENCY  (UNPLANNED) TREATMENT. ONLY.
