Background
In April 2004, regulations were introduced in the NHS which made 'overseas visitors' from certain countries liable to be charged for accessing most hospital services. A number of vulnerable groups, including refused asylum seekers and victims of trafficking, were affected by these regulations. This included both children and also refused asylum seekers in receipt of Section 4 support because they are acknowledged to be unable to travel safely home.
