Patients will have to take their passport to hospital as part of a clampdown on health tourism. For the first time, hospitals are being told to ensure everyone proves they are entitled to free NHS treatment. The measures are part of a Government drive to stop migrants and tourists abusing the Health Service, which costs up to £2billion a year. In 2011, Nigerian mother Bimbo Ayelabola, 33, (pictured), flew to Britain will pregnant with quintuplets and had NHS care costing the taxpayer around £200,000.
