miamiwhite Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, kent_white said: They chase up people for prescriptions through a body called NHS Prescription Services (what used to be the Prescription Pricing Authority). God knows how much money that costs to set up and run - but thankfully it's been around for decades. An absolute fortune I'd expect. The main difference is that you can chase these people because they live in the UK and you've a decent chance of finding them. What you're talking about is something else. And in answer to a few questions - the first things that will happen when you get to A&E is you'll get 'clerked'. So your basic details, name, address and DOB will be put on the hospital database. You won't be asked for ID so in reality you could give any name and address you wanted. If you've been at that hospital before, your name will show up on the system. It might have your correct address, but you might have moved since you last visited the hospital. Any notes the hospital have on you will be in paper format and will have to be digged out of storage (this isn't a joke by the way). And will follow you around the hospital, being added to all the time. Sometimes 4 or 5 thick folders full. There's a massive move at the moment to combine the IT systems so that Bolton Hospital's information matches up with your GP's (providing their in Bolton). So when you arrive at hospital - the DR's can see what treatment you're on at your GP and vice versa. It's been a massive (but brilliant) piece of work that has taken years and cost millions. And that's just getting a few systems in Bolton to talk to each other. And it's not without its problems. I'm not going to keep banging on about it. But to get the overseas patient thing to work properly, you'd need every system in the country to talk to each other. Everybody who arrives at Hospital to tell the truth (or a national ID card). Everybody in the NHS to be trained to ask the right questions. A protocol for what happens when you can't establish someone's legal credentials. A organisation - like NHS prescription services to chase up all the non payers (who'll likely be abroad and will probably have given you a false name). An army of lawyers to deal with all the litigation you'll be facing because you've denied someone with a foreign accent treatment (who you later found out was legally entitled to it - and has subsequently come to harm). And so on and so forth. That's me done on the subject now - take it or leave it By the way - if you've any suggestions about how to make it work then let me know and I'll end up getting knighted for services to healthcare. I'd renounce it obviously like a good red 😁 Thanks is for the reply pal, though being a mere pawn in the game you've no chance of getting knighted when I suggest they should get accident lawyers etc to chase the loot up. They could operate from Windsor Castle and get the drama Queens dealt with. Anyway, could you repeat what you sad please ? 😊 Quote

They'll be having a futile march now though in the hope of saving face. Quote
