NHS appointments.

FWIW I do think free NHS care should not be available to sex offenders and Gypsys :)
 
Because it was never meant to cope with this many old people and so many chronic diseases,as a society we are old and ill like never before,you can blame the odd tourist but that's bollocks
Don’t forget the sex changes, IVF etc etc.

The odd few tourist costs .. We can split the estimated costs into two categories:

Normal use: The estimated cost of normal use of the NHS—by foreign visitors who've ended up being treated while in England—is £1.8 billion a year (including a small number of European visitors treated in the rest of the UK). This includes the cost of treating them in A&E, though visitors aren't currently charged for this, and the cost of treating some foreigners resident in England who currently don't incur charges.

Only around £500 million per year is estimated to be recoverable or chargeable according to the Department for Health. In reality only £100 million was recovered in 2013/14.

Deliberate use: This is the estimated cost of treating those travelling to England deliberately for free treatment, or those who take advantage of the health system while here (which means using it more intensively than they might have done otherwise). This group is particularly difficult to quantify as we don't really know who most of them are. It's thought they could cost the NHS somewhere between £110 million and £280 million a year, on top of the £1.8 billion a year.
 
It doesn't matter if they were born here,in Poland,in Lagos or on the fucking moon.....if they take out without putting in,then they are a part of the problem.
