I think that genuine emergency treatment is free of charge.
yeah i was surprised when they released her and we wanted to know how much we needed to pay and they said nothin, they were ever so good with my mum they even gave her a blood testing kit with strips and lots of medicine, and when she was about to travel home to the philippines her GP gave her a months free strips and medicine.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
I live in a non-EU country and wish to visit the UK for a holiday – am I covered for free NHS healthcare during my visit.?
There is a strong possibility that you will have to pay for all medical costs whilst temporarily in the UK therefore we strongly recommend you arrange appropriate medical insurance.
Every potentially liable overseas visitor is interviewed by our Stage 2 Officer and a recommendation is then made as to whether the patient is liable for medical costs.
Is it true that emergency treatment is free?
Emergency healthcare is free to everyone ONLY in the Accident & Emergency department – if the patient then needs to attend an outpatient clinic or is admitted the Department of Health charging regulations then apply.

with many trusts short of money, i'm sure they will be chasing people for money more now than 2 years ago..
never travel without insurance, it doesn't cost much
