Now Dental Tourism on the NHS!

by Rajashri on July 08, 2008 at 2:34 PM Dental News

With medical tourism in full flow, new draft proposals are being tabled to allow UK residents to avail cross border dental treatment in the EU. The catch is that the bill would be sent to the NHS.

Most experts feel if this comes into force the National Health Service will become a 'European Health Service'. A poll has also shown that most NHS patients - 53% - are willing to travel within the EU to get dental work done.

European Commission healthcare spokesman Nicholas Fahy said the new plans may be made into a law in three years' time. Patients who are fed up of waiting on the NHS may be able to claim treatment costs from the NHS legally if the new measures come into force.

Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo's reaction was mixed, �This is a draft directive. It's far from clear that this will be the final version. We must do what we can to protect the finances of the NHS and ensure that everyone has fair access to treatment," she added.
