Charge health tourists

it’s been revealed that a single health tourist has racked up a record £530,000 bill that the nhs has to pay (Mail). surely we should send the bill to the embassy of the country where the patient comes from.

if it refuses to pay and that country receives overseas aid, then the cost of treatment should be deducted from this budget. PHIL SOSKIN, Rickmansworth, Herts. GEt a parking ticket and you will be chased by private collection companies. Come from abroad and run up a hospital bill for hundreds of thousands of pounds in the UK and what happens? nothing!
