Re: Hospital appointment
That's because A&E services are still free for all in this country so any Tom Dick or Harry can turn up in A&E and receive emergency care. Sadly, many turn up needing hospital admission and they nearly always get out of paying for it when they come through A&E. It is the same in maternity care when people just turn up in labour having had no antenatal care in this country. We do not have a system here for collecting payments upfront and until we do our doors will be open to everyone.
