Abstract

In 2003, British citizen Yvonne Watts of Bedford travelled to Calais in France for hip surgery. She did so because she did not want to wait until this treatment was offered to her in Britain according to waiting list policy of the National Health Service (NHS). Upon her return, Mrs Watts claimed reimbursement of the costs of her treatment in Calais from the NHS, which was refused. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
