I did say mostly free Arthur, to make my point and keep it brief, but you're quite right of course, there are so-called PFI (Private Finance Initiative) hospitals in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow which charge , and in Dundee cancer patients don't pay ! But this just highlights the lack of uniformity and total unfairness of charges which cause stress and at best save the taxpayer less than 1% of the NHS budget.
