description | [...]following a consultation focused on the need to close perceived "loop-holes that are open to abuse" by "health tourists," the government's announcement of its response also raised fundamental concerns regarding the balance between the potential responsibilities of doctors as employees and their ethical responsibilities to their patients. 1 Questions have also been asked regarding the actual extent of the problem of "health tourism." Specifically, doctors are bound by the ethical code that underpins the patient-doctor relationship, which is based on trust, confidentiality, and the primacy of patient needs, and these are also required by their regulatory body. 4 In its response to the government's consultation the British Medical Association clearly highlighted, and the government accepted, these ethical concerns, which effectively indicated an absolute requirement for any decision regarding eligibility for care to occur outside the context of the clinical consultation. 5 Ethical problems regarding eligibility for treatment are most profoundly shown by the issue of the proposed withdrawal of free non-emergency hospital care for asylum seekers whose applications to the Home Office have been rejected. |
