Yes that must the reason for the NHS problems. Tis the immigrants and nothing to do with the fact that it's the largest socialised healthcare system in the world and that no other country is stupid enough to organise it like that.Originally posted by Troll View PostWas talking to a NHS Consultant friend t'other day - he and his colleagues gave the NHS 5 years max - mainly due to the amount of immigrants presenting themselves with untreated congenital defects i.e. birth defects not actioned in the country of birth, but now being presented for rectification on the NHS by all these new citizens.
...suppose it's only fair


No I think we have our own stupid Labour politicians starting with Bevan to blame for that.Hard Brexit now!

When you live abroad and talk to the locals you find out why people are so keen to get here even if they take very low paid work. The 'free' health care and education for their children is a big magnet.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

It was a system born from an earlier time when the country had been through a terrible World War and the notion that Health care should be a right rather than at the whim of charity, also WW2 had put in place an fledgling infrastructure.Originally posted by sasguru View PostYes that must the reason for the NHS problems.

Indeed and it should be scrapped. It really is mediocre even after the huge amount of cash labour have thrown at it.Originally posted by Troll View Post.

What annoys me is that there is really no easy way to opt out of the system altogether as GPs are gate keepers.Hard Brexit now!
