Norovirus is common, highly infectious, can cause serious and unpleasant illness, closes hospital wards especially over winter and is a risk to care homes. 

A norovirus vaccine, if effective, would be a major step forward. Thank you to those taking part in and running this trial.

Rupert Lowe MP (on X): RupertLowe10’s post

The Department of Health has confirmed to me that they have written off the following, after ‘chargeable overseas visitors’ have not paid for their NHS treatment.

2020/21 – £46,000,000

2021/22 – £36,000,000

2022/23 – £37,000,000

Far more is outstanding, this is just written off. The British taxpayer is being taken advantage of, again and again. The NHS needs to do far more to ensure that foreign visitors using the health service are properly and fully paying for it.
