I think this is a dodgy road to start going down on as far as the NHS is concerned. It is supposed to be free to use. Personally I'd like to see charging of those who fail to attend. If they allow this charging, then I fully expect to see more charges start to appear without any reduction in taxes.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
How can it continue to be free? We have so many immigrants arriving n the country that any money we invest is instantly consumed by immigrants and health tourists that are not paying any money in.
It should be free if you have paid in, but no money in should mean no treatment.Comment

It may shock you to know that most immigrants actually pay tax.....Comment

And how do you work that one out?
Especially since we have millions of illegals...and that is only the ones we know about....Comment

I'm wary of spending another week on this kind of track. But how many millions of illegal immigrants are there (that we know about?) I would suggest that most immigrants do pay tax (it amuses me that a forum partly dedicated to the avoidance of tax produces such passion about others not paying their fair share.).Originally posted by angusglover
How much NHS resources do they (illegal immigrants) use? (For general information - they probably do receive emergency treatment from NHS but wouldn't be registered with GPs).Comment

I would suggest that the majority of immigrants are not illegal and do in fact pay tax. The only way any immigrant will end up not paying tax is by working for some dodgy geezer who pays cash in hand and doesn't pay Tax/NI. Lets face it for the vast majority of people tax is paid before you get given your wedge, like it or not.Originally posted by angusgloverComment

You can suggest but you would be incorrect. Even if they receive emergency treatment, it is still a drain on our resources especially if they are here illegally.
The country is now full of East Europeans that have paid nothing into the NHS but are now eligble for NHS benefits. In fact, we pay them benefits for kids that do not even live here...or in cases..do not even have!!!Comment

The best thing about this is that before the new GP's contract, they were obliged to do out of hours and saturday surgeries. The GP's hated it, but it was part of their terms and conditions. In the new contract the GP's were hoping to negotiate an opt out of this. The governments starting point was to give the opt out for a 6% reduction in income. Which feckin idiot did the DoH have in negotiating on their behalf? I suspect it was a GP.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

But I don't understand where the millions of illegal immigrants comes from - that's why I reckon that most immigrants pay taxes.Originally posted by angusglover
As for East Europeans - they work, pay taxes, they're entitled to services. So does benefit fraud exist? I'd be surprised if it doesn't - it does in sections of the non-immigrant community, why wouldn't it in the immigrant community?Comment

Eastern Europeans are generally seen as some of the hardest working immigrants. I have seen a lot of Polish construction workers working in the streets in London doing a very good job, you can be sure that construction workers working for the council are paying thier fair share of taxes.Comment
