Health Bill [HL]

I pay tribute to those who put this handbook together. In the NHS, we bore for Britain when it comes to jargon—we are absolutely appalling in that regard. However, this is written in such clear language that I think a huge amount of work must have gone into it. It is direct and simple to understand, and I think that it is a good document. I just wonder why Switzerland is included. Perhaps someone can tell me. The document says that, "““UK patients may be able to travel to another country in the European Economic Area””." It lists all those countries but it also says, "““or to Switzerland to receive medical treatment””."
