Debate on the Address

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 May 2013. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.

I understand what the right hon. Gentleman says about people falling over in the street, but people come from Heathrow airport to the A and E department at my local hospital, St Thomas’s, with something that they knew perfectly well they had before they came. It is not as simple as saying, “We must look after the sick”; clearly there are limits. This is a form of health service tourism.
