Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cost of treatment performed in England had to be covered under compulsory health insurance despite available treatment in Switzerland.
Decisione estratta
Coverage was denied because an appropriate treatment was available in Switzerland and no emergency justified treatment abroad.
Motivazione estratta
The judicial expert confirmed that the Swiss TSF method was available in 2007 and did not involve greater risks than the English treatment; therefore the territoriality exception and emergency exception were not met.
