    AbstractThis article discusses the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 1989 and subsequent amendments in relation to refused asylum seekers. It explores the impact of the regulations on the health care experienced by this group. The regulations have been chosen because of their contentious nature in relation to refused asylum seekers (Amnesty International, 2004). First, the evidence and rationale behind the formation of the regulations is examined. The article then considers how the restricted access to health care impacts on the health of refused asylum seekers and how this relates to international law. Lastly, it discusses inconsistencies within the regulations.
