Make Health Tourists pay for their treatment

What the petition asks
We believe that people who are not from the UK and use the NHS for treatment should be made to pay. Health Tourism costs the NHS between £200m and £2bn. It is time the Government acted and stopped the chronic abuse of health tourists using the NHS for free and made them pay their way.
