This has been the trend for some time.. the same applies to Aids.

Vast amounts of money is spent every year trying to provide preferential health services - in addition to those available from the NHS - to ethnic minorities. These additional services are not available to whites, who may exist in the same locality and have the same social issues.

"Thank God the NHS is so efficient it can easily absorb these extra costs"

Disease globalisation

Along with cheap tat from China and a multitude of people from just about everywhere, globalisation is is pleased to announce the arrival of T.B.:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6109228.stm

"The highest proportion of cases - 38% - were reported among people from an Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi ethnic background."

...

"Levels of TB in the UK born population remained stable"

Thank God the NHS is so efficient it can easily absorb these extra costs.
