Petition Require a National Insurance number to access any NHS treatment

We believe anyone wanting free medical attention or treatment from the NHS should only qualify if they or their parent or guardian have a National Insurance Number. Without this, we believe they must be required to pay for their treatment.

More details

The NHS was designed to make sure all UK citizens had access to health care. We believe the system has been exploited by health tourists coming to the UK knowing they could get free world class treatment.

We believe the pressure to cover the increasing cost of the service when more and more people are overloading the system is unsustainable. Rather than constantly financing the increasing demand, we believe we should limit who can access it.
