The British press continues to provide plenty of coverage for medical tourism, the vast majority of which is extremely positive. Whereas the media are usually quick to find the story of "bad news", it certainly was not the case of medical tourism. The recent exception was this story "As my smile was ruined by a dentist dishonest" in the Daily Mail.

Recent increases in UK patients traveling abroad are becoming a bit of a enbarrassment a Labour Government that has invested significantly in the NHS in recent years. The conservative party saw an opportunity:
"Andrew Lansley, shadow Health Secretary, said that the numbers were a" terrible indictment "of government policies that were undermining the efforts of NHS staff to provide quality services."
Waiting times of operations, the lack of access to new treatments and fears of nosocomial infections and MRSA are significant problems in UK NHS.
And they all factors that will encourage more people to travel abroad for treatment ....
