Note: The numbers agaist the countries above relate to the Map overleaf (page 69) which can be used as an interim aid to help determine eligibility for exemption, or otherwise, from NHS charges, and may be of particular assistance where a language or interpretation difficulty is present. Eligibility should only be confirmed by the flow-charts located earlier in this Appendix (Charts 1-4) and by reference to Chapter 13 of this Manual. Exemption from NHS charges only applies to "treatment, the need for which arose during the visit", for List 1 Countries this covers only nationals who are resident in the country concerned; for List 2 Countries this covers all residents of these countries regardless of nationality.
