European Health Insurance statistics
Dear Department of Health,
Please can you provide me with data for the last five years regarding how much the Department of Health has reimbursed other countries participating in the European Health Insurance Card scheme for treatment that UK nationals have had in those countries?
I would also like the data for the last five years regarding how much the treatment of people from countries participating in the European Health Insurance scheme has cost the Department of Health.
Yours faithfully,
Henry Green
