Overseas visitors and migrants who require accident and emergency treatment from the NHS in England are to be charged, the Government has announced.
Labour has accused the Government of "grand-standing" with its "re-announcement" on charging migrants for the use of some NHS services.
Shadow health minister Lord Hunt said:
Yet again, Ministers are putting spin before substance - their own report undermines the attempts to grab more headlines with this re-announcement. Labour is in favour of improving the recovery of costs from people with no entitlement to NHS treatment.
Rather than more grand-standing, the Government needs to deliver practical, thought through changes to make that happen.
