It is only that as it's the favourite pet project of the left. If there was a line drawn in the sand to say what is or is not treated by the NHS then that would save an awful lot of wastage.

The %'age of children born in this country to mothers from outside the UK has risen every year since 2001 - it's currently at 27%.

That's one of those things that appears to be off limits in terms of tackling. When my wife had our two the maternity ward on both occasions in no way represented the make up of the area.

The simple answer for the NHS is to only treat the following people:-

Those with a GB or EU Health Card

All others must have proof of health insurance on entering the UK.

Drunk related accidents become chargeable.

Any lifestyle choices should also have to pay a %'age of treatment as it's self inflicted.

Interesting attack on the patients. And I'm certain that's just what the status quo wants us to think.

From my inside sources it's clear the NHS is being milked through vested interests. £5k for a laptop here, £650 for telephone there. Not to mention the odds and sods that should be cheap as chips off the shelf, such as bandages and basic medicaments. And half those vested interests are shareholders some of which are in government.

MOD has the same problem. Don't get me started.


Sooner comarade Corbyn gets in power the sooner we might have a government working for its citizens.

If large companies like Tesco can nail suppliers on procurement why can't public sector institutions do the same?

I remember the NHS successfully running reverse auctions for laptops etc. but possibly this doesn't happen anymore.

So the 62% of Brits who are fat would have to pay a premium?
Completely agree.
Mind you if add those who drink excessively and/or smoke I'm guessing that % would rise.

Yep, especially those sporty people (figures a bit old but suspect they've gone up)

Accident and emergency departments in England have seen a 14 per cent rise in sports injury cases in a year. Just over 388,500 cases were treated in the 12 months to February 2012; up from nearly 338,200 in the previous 12 month period.

That would merely make it worse. You haven't a clue how government contracts work, have you?

Sounds exactly the same sort of tulip that stupid chunt fullyautomatix would say
