Brexit expat retirees 'may cost NHS millions'

What will UK pensioners living abroad do after Brexit? A report by the Nuffield Trust suggests that tens of thousands will come home to use the NHS , raising the cost of healthcare paid for by the UK government to £1bn a year. It says a new deal needs to be reached with other European countries to keep pressure off the health service.   The Conservatives say safeguarding the rights of UK citizens abroad is a priority for Brexit negotiations, while the Liberal Democrats argue a "bad" deal with the EU should be avoided. Labour has accused the Conservatives of "starving the NHS".
