The Home Affairs Committee of the House of Commons takes extensive evidence from medical professionals and organisation
The Home Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, during consideration of the Draft (Partial) Immigration and Citizenship Bill, took extensive evidence from medical professionals and organisations – among which MDM UK- who were worried about the impact of proposals indicated in the Draft Bill to restrict access to health services for some groups of migrants.
The Home Affairs Committee stated in its conclusions and recommendations that the evidence it received during consideration of the Draft (Partial) Immigration and Citizenship Bill "cautioned against any future restrictions on access to primary health services for those subject to immigration control. Medical professionals gave persuasive evidence that the risks—to public as well as individual health— outweighed the benefits of any such restriction".
