Rejected petition Introduce a charge for foreign nationals using our health service

More details

A simple request to follow the lead of many other countries, instead of allowing a free NHS service for visiting foreign nationals introduce a charge and those individuals will have to pay for the NHS service as we have to via our tax system or they purchase travel insurance prior to visiting the UK.

Thus reducing the drain on our resources and taxes and introducing a new revenue stream to the NHS for services rendered.
