In 2004, the Department of Health carried out a public consultation exploring proposals to deny access to primary healthcare to failed asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. The results of this consultation were never published and the department have resisted our attempts to bring them into the public domain.

The report summarises submissions to the Department of Health Consultation 'Proposals to Exclude Overseas Visitors from Eligibility to Free NHS Primary Medical Services'. It also details our ongoing attempts using the Freedom of Information Act to access a complete set of submissions to this important consultation.
