No it isn't -see my other post

Which one? About two dozen replies from you seem to have arrived damn-
near simultaneously. Not one of which gives any kind of information as
to why the NHS isn't a UK decision.

I rather suspect you've completely misunderstood the NHS's problems with
the cross-border healthcare directive.

If and when that actually takes effect, it'll resolve many of the issues
that people whinge about with the NHS - because it'll give the NHS
stronger rights to bill "EU health tourists" home health systems for any
treatment they get in the UK.

Trouble is, the NHS can't do that currently, because the NHS would have
to publish a price list. And the NHS can't do that currently, because the
NHS is such a dog's dinner that they don't actually know what they should
charge, because they don't actually know what anything costs. If they
could be bothered to work it out, and to track who receives what
treatment, they could ALREADY recharge.

The NHS does try to retrieve
oney..
Once individuals have left the country it's almost impossible to retreive
the money either from them or their government. In spite of various
agreements.
And I used to work fro the NHS so why don't you shut the f**k up with your
drivel
