Non-EU visitors and migrants to the UK will have to start paying for NHS services, including A&E care and ambulances, the Government has announced.

The Department of Health said the most vulnerable groups, including refugees and asylum seekers, would continue to be exempt from the proposed charges.

The Department of Health said no patient would be denied emergency care where immediately necessary, and GP and nurse consultations would remain free of charge.
