When Confronted By Mail online,she said she did not understand what she had done wrong. ‘What is it that’s my fault? I don’t understand,’ she said.  

‘They blamed me that I came to the UK and I just came to use the system. Which I did not do.
‘If it (health tourism) is a problem in the UK, you should talk to the NHS. I have never received my bill. If I had it, I would pay it.’

She added that she was allowed to stay in the UK without needing to ask and without having to apply.
‘I did not want to stay... it was just my situation,’ she said.

Though she left UK voluntarily,she was banned from entering the United Kingdom for Five Years
