404. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 244 of 8 October 2019, if patients in need of an upright scan will be allowed to reclaim the full cost of treatment in the UK which is not recoverable under either the treatment abroad scheme or cross border directive in view of the fact that the only available scanner is in a private clinic in the UK; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
