An English visitor had a shock when she received a $769.00 invoice for an Ambulance trip .
Visitors not eligible for New Zealand's publicly funded health services have to pay $769 - the full cost of ambulance transport. It was only later after enquiring with the Ambulance Service that as she had a British Passport and that Britain had a reciprocal agreement with New Zealand she would only have to pay $84."
Debts left by foreign visitors amounted to $4.5million in the Auckland district alone last year.
Pity that Supercare4u.com is not in Invercargill as we would have done the transfer for $50.00.
