That's messed up. They're legally obliged to provide treatment that would be provided on the NHS. Either that was a corrupt, incompetent or maybe private medical practise. It's certainly not 'one rule for them and another for us', they broke the rules.
The EEA healthcare thing should remain. It's very useful.
