It now seems that action to this growing problem on the resources of our NHS, is now having to be taken up at grass roots level.
Isn't it now time for those whose responsibility it is, to take the necessary action that we all know needs to be taken?

There was a "panorama" type program on before Christmas about an Asian NHS guy (in London I think) who would charge a few hundred pounds to give anyone (illegal immigrants) the right paperwork and NHS cards to get free NHS tratment. I dont think most people realise the extent of fraud committed by immigrants and illegal immigrants in this country. Many...

the story i quoted wasn't made up, the reporter seemed rather shocked he could buy these medicines over the counter, when they are prescription only. The asian chaps running these pharmacies seemed rather put out by the way. He was ushered out the doors so fast make your head spin, what they were doing is illegal and the reporter said so to them, so they are scamming, making a lot of money.
Anyone else noticed that a large proportion of 'foreigners' seem to have no trouble qualifying for a Blue Badge?
Serious question...how did you establish this? Do you stand in supermarket car parks noting down which cars have blue badges and then wait for their owners to return?
Do you then record their racial profile?
Seriously - what method do you use? It all sounds a bit 'Sherlock' to me.

\\\\ the best medical training in the world, so it's a fair trade-off.\\
Oh! dear....hear we go again......this is NOT true.
What evidence have you for this?
The American training of doctors is as good, if not better than post graduate training in the UK....the training in Australia is superb.........
Foreign doctors come over here for experience (making their mistakes) before returning back to their country of origin.
I get exasperated when the training of doctors both pre med and post graduate is superior in the UK...it is arrogance and not true.

Sqad,
That's why I prefaced that assumption with the one word you chose not to copy & paste from my answer.
That word? Probably. I did wonder over using the word 'possibly' but decided against it.
Obviously your experience matters in this, I'm just speaking as someone who sees Doctor's from foreign shores who are obviously grateful for the chance to study and practice here, that's all.
When all's said and done, isn't the NHS the envy of (most) of the world?

"You have to be able to prove you are entitled to free prescriptions"
No you don't. All you have to do is to tick one of the dozen or so boxes on the back of the prescription under the heading "I do not have to pay because..."
No checks are made at the pharmacy (they don't have the facilities). No checks are made at the NHS Prescription Services (previously the Prescription Pricing Authority). Insufficient information to easily identify the individual is included on the prescription form and they only make enquiries where they have reason to believe that fraud has taken place (loosely translated as "never").
Anybody who believes that all aspects of the NHS are being blatently abused by people not entitled to them is deluded. The TV investigations mentioned examine just the tip of the iceberg.

Chill......;-).......I give up.
\\That word? Probably. I did wonder over using the word 'possibly' but decided against it\\.........;-)
Perhaps i was a bit hard on your post, but having seen the work of many foreign doctors and hospitals abroad and having some first class Registrars from other countries, I am a bit tetchy about the adulations heaped on us UK NHS doctors..........true as it may be ;-)

a high proportion of these immigrants come here all "kitted" up, they know their rights they know what they can get, where to go to get it, what to say who to say it to, they will already know of "solicitors" in their areas (you know, the ones that have a sign saying immigration problems dealt with, nearly always africans and asians themselves) that they are going to live in that will "help" them out, they have networks to help them get through, round , over all sorts of officialdom and of legal obstacles.
specifically asians and africans have been ripping us off for decades and the worst thing of all is all the deniers, plenty on this site, that no matter what, just refuse to believe it.
and people wonder why this country is losing its identity and its culture...politicians of all governments have colluded to help destroy this country and the eu will be the final nail in the coffin unless something is done and quickly....but of course none of its true is it ?!

/// Serious question...how did you establish this? Do you stand in supermarket car parks noting down which cars have blue badges and then wait for their owners to return? ///
Of course not, but being a recipient of a Blue badge myself, I get to witness much more than a person who has to park in other areas of the car parks, and have noticed the rather high proportion of Asians who park along side of me.
In one incident, I witnessed one such person alight from his vehicle carrying a plastic carry bag in his hand, being a rather windy day the bag blew out of his hand, he then ran along the car park after the bag in an effort to retrieve it.
