'NHS spent £181,000 treating just one illegal immigrant' - Telegraph

A hospital spent £181,000 treating a single illegal immigrant, it was reported on Sunday night.

Details of the patient’s bill emerged amid claims that the NHS was failing to collect millions of pounds from foreign nationals using its services.

And a leading cancer specialist said no healthcare system could cope with the strain the NHS was put under by treating migrants, saying it was "absolutely unsustainable".

Portsmouth Hospitals Trust spent £181,000 treating just one illegal immigrant, according to The Sun.

Another patient, from Ghana, was reported to have been deported before a £42,000 bill was paid, leaving East and North Hertfordshire Trust to foot the bill.

And these are just the illegals...

The truth slowly trickles out

I thought the lefties were posting that "health tourism" was a myth

The point is not about illegal immigrants, it is about the NHS.

The sooner it is privatised the better it is to the nation's health. The biggest killer of the day is this non-functional political circus called the NHS.

Free healthcare for all and yet when you need it yourself you have to fight tooth and nail to get it.

Crazy how people can just rock up illegally and get treatment.

Exactly the problem.

A failed concept.

It was fine when the range of treatments was limited. It was wire brush. Dettol. Or both if life threatening.

Now you have NLYUK who got gender reassignment. AndyW's mum got silicone implants. Which MF pummled so much they had to be removed.

"And a leading cancer specialist said no healthcare system could cope with the strain the NHS was put under by treating migrants"

Which leading cancer specialist was it that felt so strongly as to make a statement like this, but not strong enough to put their name against it? oh was it....Professor Angus Dalgleish?

"Professor Angus Dalgleish, of St George’s, University of London, who stood in last year's General Election for the UK Independence Party, told The Sun....."

Hmm...well he would wouldn't he? So they used the same source, who is politically motivated by his beliefs to make such statements, to create a story to look like it had several sources...
