NHS is overwhelmed, the money spent on translators is eye watering, immigration is responsible for this both legal and illegal, we have people refusing to integrate but happy to use the NHS that require translators. A simple appointment becomes far more expensive, an NHS translator is paid around 35K a year, thats one language, each hospital could require umpteen translators. It needs overhauling quickly and has been failed by the tories and labour for years.
part of my job is looking at billing,
and the sums, the prices for items, are STAGGERING
if we were to have a private system like the yanks, lots of people wont be able to afford it,
take an asthama inhaler, - just the device alone in america before you had the medicine is nearly $800...
cost of having a baby is 100K!
