Ah - right. So those stories in the Mail etc about health tourists are
pure fantasy?

Largely. Most cases involve people who are already illegally here, so
don't have much of choice.

The Daily Mail is mostly fantasy, but not quite up to Daily Express which is
all fantasy. They probably think the Mirror Group take over is just fake news
propagated by communists.


So if a non-EU national attends A&E in Holland or Germany with a serious
and a pre-existing medical condition, what happens ?.

Someone from Germany was going to find out and report back here, but he
hasn't done so.
