Petition Action

The NHS should be concentrating on treating patients not checking passports.

Petition Details

The governments own figures on health tourism shows it costs the NHS 0.3% of its budget. The DOH is now pushing through a policy (without any meaningful consultation) whereby through racial profiling they are asking patients to show their passports. Efforts should be focused on more important areas.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to reverse its plans to require hospitals to establish whether patients are eligible for free treatment for any non-urgent, planned care, if that's what you want to happen.
