Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps the Government has taken to comply with EU law since the launch of infringement proceedings against the UK under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU on 11 June 2011, with respect to the entitlement to treatment by the NHS of EU citizens resident in the UK.
In terms of the infringement proceedings referred to, the United Kingdom Government has corresponded with the Commission and we are satisfied that we are compliant with European Union law in that respect.
