{UAH} UK considering To charge foreigners for using ambulances and visiting A&E

Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, is considering whether to charge foreigners for using ambulances and visiting A&E in a move that could further escalate tensions with the medical profession.The government has announced a number of crackdowns on so-called health tourism focused on enforcing current rules on foreigners being billed for routine care. That has led to warnings from doctors' groups that medics should not be forced to act as border guards by checking up on entitlement before treatment.
