This is a consultation on the government’s suggestions for
implementing a directive which concerns patients’ rights to cross-border
healthcare in other member states of the European Economic Area. This
consultation is seeking views on centralising cross-border
administration at NHS England; setting up a cross-border healthcare
national contact point for England; improving information on patients'
rights and entitlements; provisions for dealing with patients from other
countries; and how the process of prior authorisation and patient
reimbursement should work. This consultation closes on 24th May 2013.
