...if you have high blood pressure.
Just a taster:
"It’s Thursday evening, just before 10pm, and the A&E at University College Hospital in central London is heaving. All the seats are taken, leaving dozens of patients standing or perched on a ledge next to the window, visible to passers-by. There’s already a queue of around 70 patients, and it’s only likely to get longer as the night goes on.
Yet here at UCLH there is one way you can get seen earlier. Indeed, for certain members of society you can get assessed in just a quarter of an hour."
So who are these lucky patients? The elderly? The chronically sick unable to wait hours in A&E? Read on

This seems very localised, to University College London Hospitals (UCLH).

IH patients, meaning over 18s who:

I think it's the one that I've put in italics that is exercising New Judge ...
It's not just UCL though, Ellipsis.
From the article (which may or may not be accurate):
And it is just one of several schemes set up across the UK focusing specifically on helping migrants arriving here to get better access to healthcare. Yet, at a time when the NHS is on its knees, dealing with underfunding and chronic staff shortages, critics have questioned whether it’s fair that those without a right to live here have what appears to be a “priority” service to healthcare.
In south London, for example, special “walk-in services” at community day centres are on offer for refused asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. Here, they can receive a full health assessment, treatment of minor illnesses, and referrals to specialist services. In contrast, 15 per cent of locals had to wait at least a week before seeing a doctor in November.
In Stoke-on-Trent, an NHS team is on hand to “help failed asylum seekers, many of whom are homeless and destitute with no recourse to public funds,” access a GP and dentist. A survey in 2022 found 73 per cent of people in the city struggled to see an NHS dentist.
“It is outrageous that those here illegally are prioritised over British taxpayers, and it reinforces, once again, the concern that the NHS has become an international service, not a national health service,” says Steve Barclay, the former health secretary. “There should not be preferential treatment for those here illegally at our expense, and I think the public will be outraged to discover that’s the case. NHS England should give clear answers as to why.”
"Clickbait, I think."
I don't think so. It's the front page of the Daily Telegraph tomorrow.
"I think it's the one that I've put in italics that is exercising New Judge"
Indeed, that is the one that is particularly exercising me. But all of the categories on the list do to some extent.
There is only one factor which should determine the prioritisation of A&E patients and that is their clinical needs to address he problem they have at the time of their arrival. If the report is to be believed, consider these two extracts:
In south London, for example, special “walk-in services” at community day centres are on offer for refused asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. Here, they can receive a full health assessment, treatment of minor illnesses, and referrals to specialist services. In contrast, 15 per cent of locals had to wait at least a week before seeing a doctor in November.
"The initiative is aimed at patients who “struggle to attend A&E due to the long delays waiting to be seen”
Why do failed asylum seekers and drug addicts struggle to attend A&E due to the long waiting times any more than anybody else? And what if they do? Is any consideration given to the effects of long waiting times on anybody else?
foreign illegals getting priorty over the natives, what with 4* hotels fed watered legal aid eventual housing+ benefits to live on.. i think governments have lost the plot, tax payers are just cash cows now and less deserving, perhaps they think we have had to good for to long, we must take on the burden of the 3rd world illegals escaping war torn france.
The socialist's priority is to look after their illegal, imported, foreign, future votes. What do you expect? They are prioritised for housing, school places, jobs, monetary handouts, and religious tolerance and gatherings in public places. To say nothing of the attitude of the forces of law and order and the judiciary. When did you begin think you would get equal health treatment? All you have to do is fund it and go meekly to your early death. Meanwhile in a parallel universe of pleasure and warmth in Madeira, Starmer shows that he considers himself above the peasant hoi polloi by hijacking a ride on a pretend seigh by jumping a 3 hour queue. The people who were queueing up and no doubt paying were of course delighted to see him. ... Not.
Come one, come all!
Leave your loops and milking stools
Coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all!
Close the churches and the schools
It's the day for breaking rules
Come and join the Feast of...
Fools!
Once a year we throw a party here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Every man's a king and every king's a clown
Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day
It's the day the devil in us gets released
It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest
Everything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools
Topsy turvy!
Everything is upsy daysy
Topsy turvy!
Everyone is acting crazy
Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet
That's the way on Topsy Turvy Day
Topsy turvy!
Beat the drums and blow the trumpets
Topsy turvy!
Join the bums and thieves and strumpets
Streaming in from Chartres to Calais
Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy
On the sixth of January
All because it's Topsy Turvy Day
Come one, come all!
Hurry, hurry here's your chance
See the mystery and romance
Come one, come all!
See the finest girl in France
Make an entrance to entrance
Dance, la Esmeralda
Dance!
Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for
Here it is, you know exactly what's in store
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools
So make a face that's horrible and frightening
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing
For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools
Why?
Topsy turvy!
Ugly folks, forget your shyness
Topsy turvy!
You could soon be called Your Highness
Put your foulest features on display
Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day
Everybody!
Once a year we throw a party here in town
(Hail to the king)
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
(Oh, what a king!)
Once a year the ugliest will wear a crown
Girls, give a kiss!
Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day
(We've never had a king like this)
And it's the day we do the things that we deplore
On the other three hundred and sixty-four
Once a year we love to drop in
Where the beer is never stopping
For the chance to pop some popinjay
And pick a king who'll put the top
In Topsy Turvy
Topsy Turvy
Mad and crazy, upsy daysy, Topsy Turvy Day!
