A major reason for seeking treatment abroad is lower costs for work not funded by the NHS. In 2007, more than 200 patients were seen in NHS hospitals after surgery overseas, three quarters of whom had complications. An EU directive will make it easier for patients to have overseas treatment funded by the NHS.
寻求海外治疗的一个主要原因是，对于那些不由英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）资助的治疗项目，海外的费用更低。2007年，超过200名患者在海外手术后被NHS医院接收，其中四分之三出现了并发症。一项欧盟指令将使患者更容易获得由NHS资助的海外治疗。
