Notes

1. Also called “illegal”, “undocumented” or “unauthorised” migrants, these are people who are liable to be deported for issues related to immigration status, including refused asylum seekers.

2. On 11 April 2008, Mr. Justice Mitting ruled that refused asylum seekers should be considered “ordinarily resident” and therefore entitled to free NHS treatment, including for HIV. The DH appeal will be heard on 17 November at the Court of Appeal. For further information on NHS eligibility, see the NAT/THT document, Will I have to pay? Available at: www.nat.org.uk/document/438

3. In fact, in 2005, the House of Commons Health Select Committee on new developments in HIV/AIDS and sexual health policy found no evidence for HIV health tourism, but rather evidence against it. See Third Report of Session 2004–05: Volume 1. Available at: www.bashh.org/committees/cgc/hsc_report.pdf
