Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if it is his policy to treat persons sent abroad for hospital or
other medical treatment under the National Health Service as having uninterrupted residence in the United Kingdom as regards their
entitlement to benefits; and in what circumstances in relation to health condition and country involved such treatment extends to
those seeking overseas treatment in the private sector. [61909]
Malcolm Wicks: As announced by my right hon. Friend the Minister for Pensions on May 23 Official Report, column 461, people in
receipt of Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance or the new Pension Credit who travel abroad for medical treatment funded by the
National Health Service will be treated as being resident in the United Kingdom.
For all other benefits, and for those who go overseas to seek private medical treatment, the existing rules on periods of temporary
absence abroad will continue to apply.
