Our local hospital, Peterborough, is one of the toughest on validation checks - tourists should be obliged to have insurance capable of covering their conditions, including pregnancy, the same way most of us do when we go on holiday.
I thought exactly the same when I heard of this yesterday.

Of course the root cause of this nonsense is once again the ridiculous "devolution" arrangements which were, in the main, introduced by Mr Blair. The NHS is funded principally from central taxation. UK citizens contribute to the UK's NHS, not a Welsh one, nor an English one. It should be available to use for all those who have contributed wherever they wish across the country.
Wales has its own share of the NHS budget , which is for treatment of Welsh residents only.
And as they give free prescriptions to all it suggests they either get too much or don't spend it on other things.
"Wales has its own share of the NHS budget , which is for treatment of Welsh residents only."

Yes I know that, Eddie. So with that in mind they can hardly complain if England restricts its budget spend to English residents only. Which means someone living close to the border is prevented from using facilities which may be close by and to the running of which they may have contributed. The folly of devolution laid bare for all to see.

agreed
well as a pinko wet liberal - yeah but no but

You see boys and girls - esp NJ shame NJ ! ( again ) we should be asking how much does this cost to administer?
You need a re-charging system - (hello are you welsh, what is your address etc etc., so- you're not welsh but you live in wales? - if a man is born in a stable - does that make him a horse? ter daah ! thx to Duke of Wellington)
recharging system which I thought we got rid of 20 y ago as it was an appalling waste of money and didnt raise any ( money )
and you have to run it 24 h a day innit?

so ...... stab stab stab - gnit gnit music from Psycho!

Peter, have been on the magic mushrooms again?
//An English hospital is refusing to offer care for new Welsh patients except for emergencies or maternity cases.//

Your stab victim will be seen Peter.
PP I might understand your post better if it were in Welsh - at least I could use google translate.
turning away emergencies

and if they are doing emergencies - then they cant be refusing on grounds of cost - can they? - so it is something else such as political games....

magic mushrooms ? I read some of the posts and wish I were ( ter daah!)

If they are not on the entitled list then don't treat them, simples.
// PP I might understand your post better if it were in Welsh - at least I could use google translate.//

yeah I thought about welsh for 'are you welsh?'
but I cant do with mutations and I am not sure if goggle does either
(initial vowel in a sentence dictates the vowels in the rest of the words of the sentence)
sorry sorry very technical point - completely unsuitable for sat evg AB

oh the shower reference - gnit gnit gnit is a
filmic reference to a film by Hitchcock - often referred to as 'Sicko' on AB probably because it is ( sick)
Magic mushrooms, also know as Silly Simon.

Get a life PP
PP...go to Amsterdam!
Peter - did you write your essays at Gonville and Caius in the 'amusing' gobbledegook you invariably use on AB? I'm sure not: you wouldn't have lasted long.
It really is tedious and unfunny, and for an obviously intelligent bloke with interesting and knowledgable things to say, you do yourself no favours writing in this way.
You could start by trying proper sentences with capital letters at the beginning - you might find you like it, and that more people take notice of what you have to say.
