demand on the NHS needs to be reduced - not just pointless billions pumped into it to be spent on 'health tourists'

We're paying for it with every post you make
you do know, though, that it's people like yourself, and forums such as these that caused enough people to take umbrage at the righteous left, that it SWUNG THE BALANCE in the referendum
the balance to vote Leave that is

Health tourism accounts for less that 0.5% of the NHS's budget, and much of that cost is elderly British Daily Mail readers who have retired to the Dordogne coming back to the UK for cancer treatment etc. They'd still slip under the radar after Brexit, and trying to police the system would cost more than letting it go.
most of those people are eligible as they've lived all their life in UK, working and paying taxes into the system
low skilled nurses, porters etc..can be replaced with local workers, and if the pay is right, the rest will stay
how can it be a waste of money trying to recover revenue from those that refuse to pay - I take it you regularly dodge the fares on trains, right?

"Low Skilled" nurses currently have to pay about 30 grand on tuition fees for three year's trainingand have just had their bursary withdrawn, so good luck with that.
Charging for NHS services costs more money than it raises, because many of the people being chased up for payments are destitute and not allowed to work. It's an ideological project aimed at normalising charging for the rest of us eventually-the thin end of the wedge. Health tourism costs less than 0.5% of the NHS budget. Many of those engaging in it are white anglophones and have access to an address that makes them look legit.

So many particulars. So many questions.
if only there was a historic example of a nationalized rail service in the UK to look back at and imagine what the modern take would look like
If I lived near Friedrich, I might vote to leave him too.

Entitlement is based on residency. Whatever you think of an expat blagging the system, a large proportion of the 0.5% of its budget that the NHS looses to 'health tourism' is made up of people like this.

You really think that was what happened? That people don't know that politicians are a bunch of charlatans, liars and con-merchants?
