    GPs told to charge non-Britons for NHS services

    The changes will also protect UK expatriates by giving them access to free NHS healthcare for life once they have paid national insurance contributions for 10 years. At present, anyone living permanently outside the UK faces paying for NHS care they receive.

    People starved to death in NHS hospitals.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-patients.html

    For every patient who dies from malnutrition, four more have dehydration mentioned on their death certificate

    In 2011, 43 patients starved to death and 291 died in a state of severe malnutrition

    Department of Health branded the figures 'unacceptable' and said the number of unannounced inspections will increase

    Im not so sure its worth flying back for NHS care anymore..
    Probably take our chances in a private hospital in Cebu.. At least we wont starve to death!

    Are Doctors overseas subject to the Hippocratic oath ? - it only seems in the UK that they have an issue weeding out freeloaders and abusers

    well the private polish surgeries that have sprung up in the UK, they don't seem to have a problem treating people who can only afford to pay their fees
