Treasury announced plans to bring in surcharge this week
An MHK believes there's a 'fundamental flaw' in the system around healthcare fees which needs to be addressed.
Douglas North representative John Wannenburgh put a question on the matter to the treasury minister requesting an update on the idea of a health surcharge for new residents.
Alex Allinson did confirm this week Treasury does plan to bring in such an initiative before the end of the current administration.
Mr Wannenburgh believes it would be no different for some who move to the UK:
