I suppose there's probably an equivalent scenario if a non-EU visitor falls ill in the UK.
Or if a UK citizen drives a car with (unknown to them) invalid insurance and destroys the side of a house or whatever.

The NHS charges at 150% of their standard charges for non-EU nationals. For most people this is a moot point since short-term visitors are required to have insurance anyway, and long-term visitors pay a surcharge which covers them for all NHS services.
