What !
Stupid people
So you’re saying that the majority of ppl that come to the UK for treatment come from those countries?
Nobody knows where they come from, or how many there are. The NHS doesn’t ask for ID when people are admitted. That’s the problem.
I stick to what I said previously ; if they were getting it better at home (and they could afford it) , they wouldn’t be coming to the Uk for it. Do you know for sure that they don’t ask for ID? Have you considered the fact that they do maybe ask for ID .. and these people don’t have ID, as they’re refugees?
Bloss we are talking about health tourists NOT refugees … doh !!!
An E111 card covers the EU (28 countries) and also Norway, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Iceland have a similar Insurance as far as I know. So you’re saying that people visiting from the remaining countries (many of which are poor), should not be hospitalised for free, if sick. I presume you’re referring to this category, right? We’re all humans. I’m shocked you added such a thread tbh, with you apparently being a nurse. Sems you didnt learn much from Florence Nightingale.
Bloss this response is typical of the snidey misinformed comments I’d expect by you.
As for your comment about visitors from outside the countries covered by the E111 now the EHIC card being poor is total contradiction of your point. If they can afford a holiday to the UK then they can & should have the travel insurance that we are expected to have when we travel to foreign countries !!
I am a nurse & bloody proud of that fact. I look after whoever comes along needing treatment in my area. Dealing with anything from a cut finger needing stitching to a patient with HIV needing a major laparotomy so dont YOU dare knock my profession. Just like Florence nightingale did ….. incidently who do you think pays for all the wonderful innoative advances in medicine ? The people that pay their National Insurance contributions & donation from local fundraising … that’s who!!!
The UK Government has cut the health budget so much. The worse thing that ever happen to the NHS was the creation of Foundation Trusts. I won’t bore you with the details of what that actually means on a day to day basis within the NHS. Feel free to ask though.
Take your gripe up with them NOT the people on the front line that regularly go without their meagre meal breaks to care for other peoples relatives , that are regularly late off a 12 hour shift because of staff shortage. We dont walk away saying tough not my shift!
When Florence was around the best she could offer was TLC & very basic dressings etc.
Ironic you have so much to say alledgedly living in Italy these days.
So instead of being a snidey mare why dont stop & look at the bigger picture.
You turned your back on the UK for a life in Italy …. need I say more .
