They then should have gone after them for the fees after a few weeks.
Wonder why the couple (or the NHS themselves) didn’t just do this?
Okay, the couple were probably traumatised at the loss of their baby. So why didn’t the NHS just help them out?Comment

If you are entitled to help but fail to fill in paperwork, the bureaucrats can do it retrospectively. But they don't have to.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI do know of case here where a tourist fell ill without their EHIC. They were able to claim retrospectively - but the authorities are not obliged to allow that.
In any case - if you travel outside your own country, even in Europe with an EHIC, make sure you've got proper travel insurance to cover any accident or sickness that, crucially, covers you to the same standard as at home. The EHIC is effectively a safety net, but it will only give you the same cover as locals. It won't get you home, repatriate your body etc.
Still, pretty callous of the hospital.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Now I'm thinking of dead bodies. Ok I need to find a more cheery thread to read.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostActually, that is a good point. They can't afford to pay the bill and I'm guessing perhaps they could not afford to pay for travel insurance. How would they get the body back.
