NHS spends 13.3 MILLION in a year caring for more than 3,000 foreign mothers who came to the UK to give birth with one hospital racking up a 1.7m bill So far less than half of that money has been claimed back after it was spent on health tourists giving birth on maternity wards in England.

And one hospital trust, Barts Health, racked up a bill of 1.7million caring for 232 women who had their children in its hospitals,The Sunrevealed.

Critics called the expenditure 'ludicrous' after it was revealed less than half the money has been claimed back.

One new mother managed to get away without paying a 116,000 bill owed to the Royal Free London NHS Trust.

After Barts Health, three of the five with the biggest foreign mother care bills were in hospitals in London, with one in Essex and another in Leicester.

Guy's and St Thomas' spent 811,565; King's College 636,610; Barking, Havering and Redbridge 741,812; and University Hospitals of Leicester 450,355.

The figures come after an article written last month suggested the UK is breaking United Nations rules by not offering free healthcare to undocumented migrant children.
