With regard to EC countries, there is a reciprocal agreement between most
of them that covers emergency treatment. Technically, a GP can't refuse
emergency treatment to an EC national covered by a reciprocal. The HA
should have leaflets which say which countries are covered - it is all
the ones you would expect. There are some reciprocal agreements with
non-EC countries too.
