No entry to UK if health service bills unpaid

International visitors to the UK who fail to pay bills of £1,000 (about Tk 1,19,000) or more for the UK's National Health Service (NHS) medical treatment will be refused entry to or permission to stay in the UK until this debt is paid off.
British Immigration Minister Damian Green made the announcement in a written statement earlier this week, says a press release.
This change follows consultations carried out last year by the UK Border Agency and the Department of Health.
The written ministerial statement on the change is available at:
