Your BNP comment is bang out of order. Excuse me for wanting to put British tax payers first!Er..........
1) You sound like the BNP(Or New Labour - "British jobs for British people")
2)The NHS is dependent on the work of migrants. You want people to work for a system but at the same time stopping them for accessing it due to their nationality.
3)Your suggestion seems very unpopular with people who work in the NHS - https://www.theguardian.com/society...ism-claims-distraction-from-nhs-real-problems
4)And finally there is very little concert evidence that "health tourism" cost the NHS hundreds of million of pounds - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/reality-check/2013/oct/22/health-tourists-costing-nhs-2bn
The NHS is at breaking point and I’d be happy for any preventative measure to be put in place to ensure it still exists when my son is grown up!
That article is utter fecking bullshit. A single overnight stay in a hospital cost the NHS thousands of pounds and that’s without taking Any treatment (x rays, IV lines etc) into consideration. If the figure was only £12 million (rather than the widely believed £2 billion!) why are measures being introduced that will require medical staff to ask individuals for proof that they are living here?
It’s very simple in my opinion, if you don’t live and work in this country then you shouldn’t be entitled to free medical care. I certainly wouldn’t expect it if I was abroad without insurance
Why should Jane Bloggs from Eastern Europe jump on a plane heavily pregnant purely to have her baby for free over here rather than pay back home?
Foreign people on working Visas that are contributing (like the nhs workers you mentioned) by paying tax etc, should of course be treated under the nhs.
