In fact if you are an vulnerable elderly male, don't expect the same service as a vulnerable elderly female.
/// “It’s absolutely feasible as we go forward that if my neighbour is a vulnerable elderly person who has experienced a particular type of crime, that 'SHE' gets a face-to-face service that I don’t get. So we triage things... we assess people’s vulnerability. ///

When making the decision how to prioritise, you are absolutely bound to get howls of protest from those feeling hard done by.
That I'm afraid is obvious.

Then perhaps:
How long have you lived in the UK?
How long have you paid into the NHS?
No I can't see that working, that's why I said everyone should be treated equally.
By your reasoning if someone needed life saving treatment the elderly would be put at the back of the list, since they had enjoyed a good innings anyway.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, imagine you and I have been burgled and the police can allow only one of their officers to visit one of us. How should they decide which if us to visit? Toss a coin or pick a name out of a hat?
Although we may both we should each each receive equal treatment, I would understand if they went to you first because they believed you to be vulnerable.

AOG - I read this as well, and was fully expecting a post from you on the subject.
If you would care to re-read it, you will see that this is a 'proposal' - in other words, it's an idea, something someone is thinking, but that is a universe away from it actually happening.
The Mail has jumped on it because it knows full well that if it words its piece carefully, and doesn't draw attention to the 'proposal' aspect of this guff, its readers will be delighted to get their trolleys in a twist because migrants are getting one over on the indigenous population again.
Anyone reading it with an ounce of detachment can clearly see it for what it is, poking the Middle England bear, which is so easy, it makes for slack journalism in the silly season.
It's nonsense, it's a puff piece, and the Pavlovian response has duly happened.
Next week, read about Andy Hughes's 'proposal' to date Kylie Minogue!!!

Oh girl up for chrissakes !
//Everyone should be treated equally.
None of this ticking certain boxes to prove priority.//
in an age of falling budgets and value of money ( probably directly due to Brexit that you voted so exitedly for AOG)
you have to prioritise - so yes the little old lady down the road being murdered may well get sooner attenntion than you whining as usual about kids kicking their footballs around
it is a fact of life
Hey AOG - Notting hill is still on !
