Zimbabwean man faces £93,000 NHS bill after two weeks in a coma

The Government’s policy on charging people from overseas to use the NHS is putting vulnerable people’s lives at risk, campaigners have warned.

In recent years the rules have been tightened so the NHS has to charge up front for any non-urgent treatment.
