The Utter incompetence of the NHS.
Hi
The EU has rules.
One of them is very, very simple.
Every EU Migrant working in another EU Country, or visiting is required to pay the full costs of any medical treatment they receive.
This is done by means of the EHIC,
The European Health Insurance Card.
So, when I swan off to Poland and need Medical Care, I present my card and the NHS pays for it.
This includes all the costs of paying the bill and the admin costs of getting that money back from the NHS.
It doesn't cover everything, some costs are different abroad, but it does cover 90% of them, the rest are covered by my Insurance.
Now, not many UK Citizens go to work or live in Poland. but there are a hell of a lot of Polish living and working here in the UK.
About 850,000, a vast number, none of which we charge for our NHS.
A loss of £Billions to the UK.
Who are the idiots here?
Our NHS Managers or the Polish?
The Polish Government is quite prepared to pay, they think we are idiots for not charging.
Annie has categorically stated that it is not worth the UK
Charging as Admin Costs are more than we can recover.
Absolute rubbish, all admin costs are fully recoverable under the system.
Hence my view that all NHS Managers should have their salaries and pensions cut unless and until they do their jobs and recover the Billions owed to us and this should be fully back dated for 6 years.
That is just the EU Migrants, we have more Non EU Migrants than EU Migrants.
The NHS also provides absolutely free medical care to the 600,000 or so illegal immigrants here in the UK.
These people pay nothing into the system.
The UK is not a charity, we should be detaining them as soon as they ask for treatment.
NHS Managers should be personally charged the full costs of such treatment, not the rest of us.
