Spain’s autonomous regions say they want compensation for medical attention to National tourists. The movement is being led by Valencia, Murcia and Cataluña, the three regions who have already accepted money from a regional support fund set up by the Government. Now they want another compensation fund so they can treat the tourists. Not all the regions like the idea, with Andalucía saying it does not understand the claim because they believe ‘in the universality of health assistance and in the free circulations of the Spanish citizens, and this implies not making distinctions’. Valencia says however, ‘We are all equal’ and everyone should pay their way. Most of the tourists who turn to the Spanish Health Service do so via the Emergency departments where no facture is issued and no health card asked for. Other regions do not take details of the origin of their patients and that makes it difficult to count how many tourists are attended to.
