The NHS is dying, and Daniel, the Black Belt Barrister explains part of the reason why it is happening.
The NHS document which he quotes from can be read in full here.

In a nutshell, British residents are at the bottom of the list when it comes to tests, checkups, and treatment. Every man and his dog goes before us.
Refused asylum seekers can be registered with a GP and receive free primary care services in England, Wales and Scotland, as can any other patient regardless of immigration status.
Millions are spent on interpreters for patients who cannot speak English.
The NHS has an obligation to provide translation services to users, free at the point of delivery. The NHS trust which spent the most on interpreters and translation services in the UK was NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde with costs totalling £8,853,676 during 2019-20 to 2021-22.
So, dear reader, do not become ill. This is why I always harp on about looking after yourself. The NHS is in chaos. Don't think that by rushing to get the next available treatment, and stocking up on your pill cabinet, will keep you fit and healthy. That's a fallacy. All you will be doing is boosting the coffers of Big Pharma. Doctors all around the world are calling for the suspension of mRNA jibbyjabbys. But don't take any notice of me, after all, as many have pointed out, I'm only an ex lorry driver. Ask your doctor, and make your own mind up.
Thanks for popping in. It's flippin freezing here. My heating is on and Mayze is lying on her bed in front of the gas fire. We are fine.
