I see that the Government has found some obliging
researchers to confirm their conviction that
foreigners are soaking the NHS:
"Temporary migrants cost NHS up to £2bn a year, says study"
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/22/temporary-migrants-nhs-cost-study
The article says the study (by a firm called
Creative Research) is hedged around with ifs and
buts - and that the "the NHS had only recorded
£33m of charges to foreign nationals, of which
£12m was written off".
Anyone know anything about this? Who are these guys?
On Start the Week yesterday (Radio 4) Kwasi
Kwarteng MP (Tory) was asserting that foreigners
are a burden on the NHS without anyone
challenging him.
Is this not one more glaring example of the Big
Lie that must speedily be hung, toilet-seat-wise,
around the Governmental neck?
Best regards
Bob Hughes
