STARMER Giving MIGRANTS NHS Priority Care as Millions of Brits Must WAIT
STARMER Giving MIGRANTS NHS Priority Care as Waiting Times For BRITS, Pile Up
NHS hospitals are giving priority care to asylum seekers and other vulnerable patients as the service grapples with skyrocketing waiting times for BRITS, it has been revealed.
Over Six Million Brits Are Waiting to Receive Care. Some Cases Can Take Up to 18 WEEKS For Them to See a GP
AP 10 JAN 2025
DOPEY Starmer said during his general election campaign that he wants to create an NHS that is there for everyone
A special category of patients needing an urgent assessment can ask for an appointment at A&E under a scheme known as 987 Inclusion Health. Those in this category include undocumented migrants.
Under the scheme, they can be pushed up the queue when they arrive at hospital and taken straight to a consultant for further evaluation.
CRAZY & UNFAIR
The scheme is aimed at patients who might otherwise find it difficult to attend A&E due to the long delays waiting to be seen.
It is just one of multiple initiatives that have been rolled out across the UK offering migrants FASTER access to healthcare.
At one hospital, a team of NHS staff has been set up to help FAILED asylum seekers, many of whom are homeless and destitute with no recourse to public funds
These services have reportedly been made available due to as experts say migrants would be unlikely to sign up to doctors or dentists surgeries due to a lack of understanding with how the system works even though they are entitled to register with GPs and receive free primary care services in England, Wales and Scotland.
Meanwhile in August, the numbers of migrants successfully claiming asylum reached the highest levels since records began, according to Home Office statistics.
The true number, however, could be far higher as this figure only includes those who were discovered by authorities.
