Boris will END health tourism charging non-Brits £625 to use NHS services

BORIS JOHNSON has pledged to cease health tourism, which sees overseas nationals deliberately travelling to the United Kingdom to apply NHS offerings for free. He will rate all overseas patients, including the ones from the EU, a £625 price for the use of Britain’s fitness services.

The cabinet minister savaged the Labour leader for betraying a "once great party" and said he had become "utterly detached" from the concerns of hard-working Britons. He claimed Labour was in "the grip of an ideological clique" who loathed the British institutions which "bind us together as a nation" - "from our military to the Monarchy, our history and our traditions

Currently the common visit to the NHS from overseas site visitors fees the British taxpayer a median of £625 in keeping with visit.

Visitors from outside the EU are required to pay a £four hundred surcharge - however if they come from within the bloc, their remedy is absolutely unfastened.

The £400 charge is also frequently waived in practice.

As a result, the Tories are to introduce a system where all foreign patients will have to pay a £625 fee.

The new charge is expected to raise an extra £500million a year for the NHS.

The new proposals also include plans to ramp up health tourism “hit squads” who will chase the frequently missing payments from oversells patients.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Mr Gove said: “Making access to the NHS fairer is part of making migration fairer overall.

“Our country is made stronger by welcoming people with talent from across the globe.

But it’s not right that people from Bulgaria and Slovenia can come here without any controls and have automatic rights that people from Bangladesh and Singapore do not.”

Mr Gove also welcomed the greater freedom Britain will have over its immigration rules once the UK has left the EU.

He said: “As a tolerant and inclusive country, Britain welcomes the benefits migration can bring.

“But migration has to be managed if it is to work in everyone’s interests.

“Since the Brexit vote, popular support for migration, and warmth towards new arrivals, has increased.

“Because the British people know that, outside the EU, we can control our borders and bring immigration down.”

The new plans will bring an end to the current twin-track system where EU migrants have access to greater welfare benefits than non-EU migrants.

EU migrants can access welfare and services after being in the UK for only three months, while non-EU migrants have to wait for five years to secure indefinite leave to remain.

But after Brexit, EU and non-EU residents might be treated equally with the introduction of an Australian-fashion factors-based totally immigration gadget.

Mr Johnson stated in a announcement: "As we pop out of the EU we've got a new opportunity for fairness and to make sure all individuals who come right here are dealt with

the equal. We will make our immigration system equal.

Home Secretary Priti Patel has also pledged to routinely reject migrants with criminal convictions – some thing she is currently barred from doing beneath EU guidelines.

The Tories are due to unveil their complete election manifesto next weekend.
