Reforming access to healthcare for foreign nationals
Date: Wed, 10 July 2013
Time: 10am - 11:30am
Venue: Thatcher Room, Portcullis House
I would like to invite you, on behalf of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration, to attend the APPG's upcoming roundtable entitled, 'Reforming access to healthcare for foreign nationals', which will be held on Wednesday, 10 July 2013, from 10am to 11:30am in the Thatcher Room, Portcullis House.
A new Immigration Bill, announced in the Queen's Speech on 8th May 2013, will regulate the ability of migrants to access the National Health Service, ‘ensuring that temporary migrants make a contribution’. The Secretary of State for Health reported to parliament in March that a number of possible measures were under consideration, including extending charging to some visitors and temporary residents, ending free access to primary care for all visitors and tourists, and introducing a prepayment or insurance requirement for temporary visitors to pay for NHS care in the UK.
This meeting will bring together parliamentarians, healthcare professionals and analysts to review the economic and social implications of the Government’s proposals, and to debate their potential inclusion in a new Immigration Bill.
Speakers invited to address the meeting include:
Chris Skidmore MP - Conservative
Kevin Barron MP - Labour
Baroness Jolley - Liberal Democrats
Dr Richard Vautrey - British Medical Association
Frank Vanbiervliet - Doctors of the World
I would very much welcome early confirmation that you will be able to attend what will be an important and timely debate.
Jack Dromey MP

Chair, All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration
