Re: The NHS
It has been estimated that there are about 2 million illegal migrants in UK. If this is true then they alone woul dput a severe strain on your NHS.
When Britex is enacted and you are free of EU will the gov of the day be able to deport such persons?


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: The NHS
I see in today's news that at last non EU citizens are to be charged for treatment on the NHS, apparently the bill for treatment for those people amounted to approx 4 million last year. Whilst that is good news, it hardly scratches the 23 million costs to the NHS to provide interpreters, kt

Re: The NHS
The UK has a reciprocal arrangements with countries of the EU. We treat their countrymen / women if they fall ill whilst in the UK,we bill their Governments for treatment. The same happens if UK people fall ill in a Euro country. Trouble is we pay, and EURo countries do not pay the full amount owed.
Euro countries owe the NHS hundreds of millions of £'s and no one seems to be bothered in collecting.

Alas Vic, there was a representative of the NHS management on TV this morning, who whilst stating it was a good idea, they don't have the staff to administer such a system and would have to create new managers, so a manager will an assistant, the assisant will require a filing clerk, they will require offices, which will require servicing and cleaning and a whole host of hidden costs, I thought they were already down by the head with managerial staff who need things to do.
