Strongly agree

No, emergency care should not be denied to those cannot afford it

The SNP has consistently supported the principles of the NHS, which include providing free healthcare at the point of use. This suggests that they would likely agree with the idea that emergency care should not be denied to those who cannot afford it, including foreign visitors.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and require visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK

There is no clear evidence that the SNP supports requiring visitors to show proof of insurance before entering the UK. However, their support for a fair contribution from those who use the NHS could suggest some openness to this idea.

Disagree

Yes, but only those outside of the EU

The SNP has been a strong advocate for maintaining close ties with the EU and has opposed Brexit. It is unlikely that they would support a policy that discriminates against non-EU visitors in terms of emergency medical treatment.
