To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the cost to NHS England has been of reimbursing GP practices for providing services to (a) non-UK and (b) non-registered UK citizens in each of the last three years for which information is available.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the cost to NHS England has been of reimbursing GP practices for providing services to (a) non-UK and (b) non-registered UK citizens in each of the last three years for which information is available.
General practices (GPs) are paid for providing essential services to all their patients via global sum payments, which are weighted to take patient needs into account. Therefore, there are no dedicated GP payments for providing services to non-United Kingdom or non-registered UK citizens, and the Department does not hold data on GP patient lists by nationality.
Earlier this month, my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor expressed his frustration at our country’s inability to prevent the entry of foreign national criminals and even terror suspects. Can he tell the House how things will change when we leave the European Union?

I think it is well known that the current test for denial of entry for people coming from the EU is that they must pose a serious, genuine and present threat, which has obviously created difficulties over the years.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 21 March 2016 to Question 29775, in what format information is held on the value of child benefit claims in respect of children living in another EEA country or Switzerland.
Around 7m people are receiving Child Benefit. To extract and collate the value of all payments made to EU migrants for children living outside the UK in the format requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Information relating to the number of Child Benefit claims paid to families with children living overseas is available in the Government publication , “The best of both worlds: the United Kingdom's special status in a reformed European Union”. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-best-of-both-worlds-the-united-kingdoms-special-status-in-a-reformed-european-union
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what checks his Department carries out to ascertain the (a) immigration status and (b) nationality of benefits claimants.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what checks his Department carries out to ascertain the (a) immigration status and (b) nationality of benefits claimants.
Access to means-tested benefits is conditional upon satisfying the Habitual Residence Test (HRT) where claimants must provide proof of their nationality and immigration status; their employment (where appropriate) and habitual residence in the UK.
Generally, access to disability benefits is conditional upon satisfying the Past Presence Test (PPT) where claimants must provide proof of their nationality and immigration status; their habitual residence in the UK; and presence in the UK for 2 years out of the last 3 years.
Access to contributions-based benefits is not dependent on a residency test, but the claimant must be present in the UK and they must have made the required number of national insurance contributions.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2015 to Question 13969, what information his Department has to help inform policy development on the payment of child and tax credits to foreign nationals.
In his speech on Europe on November 10th, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the Government’s proposal that people coming to Britain from the EU must live here and contribute for 4 years before they qualify for in work benefits or social housing. This proposal is included in the Prime Minister’s letter to Mr. Tusk.
DWP’s statistical release from November 10th explained that it is estimated that, at March 2013, between 37 and 45% of the EEA nationals (excluding students) who were resident in the UK having arrived in the preceding 4 years were in households claiming either an in-work or out-of-work benefit or tax credit.
This represents between 195,000 and 235,000 EEA nationals in recently arrived households claiming benefits or tax credits at March 2013 out of 525,000 recently arrived EEA nationals resident in the UK at March 2013.

Following the public consultation undertaken in August 2014[1] and the Government’s response of December 2014[2], the Department has been working to design and implement key improvements through its Visitor and Migrant NHS Cost Recovery Programme. The programme has the stated aim to recover up to £500 million per year from chargeable overseas visitors and migrants (or their home countries) by the middle of the next Parliament. This will be reinvested into the National Health Service to support the sustainability of NHS frontline services.
The Department published an Implementation Plan[3] on 14 July 2014 outlining its intentions for 2014-16. It describes how the Department will assist the NHS to improve the identification rates of chargeable patients and rates of recovery for healthcare provided to such patients over the next year. It includes a number of measures to support NHS frontline staff, and how legislative change brought about by the Immigration Act 2014 will be translated into achievable outcomes within the NHS. It also lays the foundations for the broadening of the current charging rules to include additional areas of healthcare in the future.
The plan outlines four phases of work that are being undertaken:
- Phase 1 – Improving the existing system
Improves existing systems; develops and delivers financial incentives, encourages sharing of best practice, provides for a training curriculum for NHS staff, and establishes a cost recovery support team to deploy to NHS trusts.
- Phase 2 – Aiding better identification of chargeable patients
Works with delivery partners to make changes to our existing identity verification mechanisms and registration processes within the NHS (primary and secondary care).
- Phase 3 – Implementing the health surcharge
Delivers legislative change to support the introduction of the health surcharge (introduced through the Immigration Act 2014) and possible amendment of existing exemptions.
- Phase 4 – Extension of the current charging
Reviews current overseas visitor charging rules and explores extending the scope of charging in secondary care, and the possibility of introducing charging in certain primary care settings.

While the Government checks the immigration status of benefit claimants to ensure the benefit is paid properly and to prevent fraud, traditionally that information has not been collected as part of the payment administrative systems.
However, the Government is looking at ways to reform the current administrative system under Universal Credit so that it will systematically record nationality and immigration status of migrants who make a claim.
The Government has made a radical series of changes over the last year to restrict the access by non-UK citizens from the European Economic Area to UK benefits and tax credits. This is in order to protect the UK’s benefit system and discourage people who have no established connection with the UK from moving here, unless they have a job or a genuine prospect of work, or have savings to support themselves until they do.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many non-UK citizens from (a) other EU countries and (b) the rest of the world are in receipt of working tax credit.

I refer my hon. friend to the reply given on 1 May 2014, Official report, columns 799W-800W,
for the number of families claiming tax credits where, if claiming as a couple, at least one of the family members was recorded as being a non-UK national when they registered for a National Insurance number (NINO).
These awards will include people who were recorded as being a non-UK national when they first registered for a NINO but now have UK nationality. The information cannot therefore be used to reliably determine the number of non-UK nationals in receipt of tax credits and was not intended to be used for that purpose.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many foreign nationals from (a) the EU and (b) countries outside the EU have been defendants in the (i) magistrates courts and (ii) Crown courts in England and Wales in the last year for which figures are available.

The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences in England and Wales. This database holds information
on offences provided by the statutes under which proceedings are brought but not the specific circumstances of each case. It is not possible to identify from this centrally held information the nationality of offenders sentenced for criminal offences.
Court proceedings data for 2013 are planned for publication in May 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what proportion of defendants being held in custody pending trial are foreign nationals.

Does the Home Secretary share my concern at the very small number of foreigners convicted in the summer 2011 riots who have been deported? What is going to be done about it?
Does the Home Secretary share my concern at the very small number of foreigners convicted in the summer 2011 riots who have been deported? What is going to be done about it?
My hon. Friend might be interested to know that we are actively pursuing deportation in 150 of those cases and have successfully removed 15 people already. The Government will continue to do so and I am confident that the vast majority of foreign national offenders involved in those riots will be removed from the country once their sentences are complete.

The Department does not hold information on how many national health service hospital trusts in England employ dedicated managers to make and recover charges to overseas visitors. However, the Department does strongly recommend that NHS bodies have such a person to. oversee the implementation of the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2011, as amended.
NHS trusts' accounts show that the total income received from overseas visitors liable for charges for 2011-12 was £19,515,000. The chairman of Monitor informs us that the similar figure for NHS foundation trusts was £13,000,000. Income received means the total amount that those bodies invoiced overseas visitors, not what they received from them in payment.
The initial phase of the review of charging overseas visitors for NHS care concluded earlier this year and is now being considered. The Department will respond in due course.
