Clare Sellars was quoted in the March 2006 issue of EURALex's European Healthcare Law & Regulatory News in an article titled "Advocate General issues ground-breaking opinion on NHS and patient mobility." The article focuses on the issue of NHS patients traveling to other EU member states in order to receive medical treatment and the relevance of Article 49 when determining a patients right to receive such treatment. Ms. Sellar's commented, "It will certainly have implications, but the concern that this case will lead to large numbers of people circumventing NHS waiting lists by going abroad for treatment should probably not be over-played. This case is significant as this is the first time the principles of the existing case law have been applied directly in the context of a national health service."
