Re: Oh hum another Nigerian woman health tourist
The fourth episode of BBC2's Hospital details the story of a Nigerian woman who had quadruplets in London after a stop-over flight from Nigeria
Filmed at London's Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital, it shows her racking up a £500,000 invoice, which remains unpaid
This was on the news on radio 4 this morning ...
I was just listened to a programme on radio 4 about the absurdity of who gets medical treatment these days .
Clinical Commissioning Groups hold the purse strings and decide in each area who should have their referrals from GPs progressed to a surgeon and apparently many operations like carpel tunnel syndrome and hernias are no longer receiving the funding for treatment resulting in people some of whom have paid into the system all their lives being left in excruciating pain or going on to develop strangulated hernias/bowel obstructions.
Yet someone can come to this country,never pay a penny and get treatment for free.
