Health Tourism is a real issue for the public.

UKIP Leader Nigel Farage has today
reiterated his position on the problems caused by health tourism to the
NHS.
"Though many in the Westminster bubble were outraged by my comments about
the impact of Health Tourism, and appalled that I mentioned those with HIV as
part of that problem, what was clear was that the general public did not share
that outrage.
"Immediately after the debate YouGov carried out a poll that showed that
a full 50% of the population agreed with me, with only 34%
opposed. I also received very moving messages of support
from UK sufferers of HIV who have found it increasingly hard to receive the
treatment they need because of pressure on
clinics.
