/// Parliament passed legislation in June to help those who need psychiatric treatment in a 'medium or high-security unit not available in Bermuda'. ///
/// Kim Wilson, the Minister of Health, said prisoners sent to Britain would be treated free of charge under the National Health
Service. ///

No wonder our NHS is in such a mess.

Bermuda is a BoT. Does that mean he’s not, strictly speaking, being ‘imported’?

I thought you’d be all in favour of looking after the residents of one of our Imperialistic conquests, AOG. Back when Britain was great, and all that, what-o, old boy?

"Dr Anagnostakis said: 'I believe that he will make rapid progress in a more therapeutic and less restricted setting in relation to stability of his mental state and functional rehabilitation.

'Progress in relation to developing his insight and engaging in offence-related work aimed at risk reduction will be more challenging for him given his history and will depend on his motivation.'"
A quote from from the article by a psychiatrist at St Andrews Healthcare. Like some posts on here: Lots of words but no substance. Anyway, as ZM said, he's from a BoT so I guess he's entitled to be treated...Like it or not.

Do you understand the meaning of the word 'import'?

We import many things, both from foreign countries and from our territories.

Not so, we look after too many now as it is, thanks to Labour's mass immigration policy.

I wouldn't take too much notice of what Zacs says.

Overseas Patients
An overseas patient is someone who is not ordinarily resident in the UK and does not permanently live in the UK. If you are visiting the UK or have been living outside the UK for more than six months, you may have to pay for
the NHS hospital treatment whilst
you are here. This is regardless of whether you are a British citizen or have lived or worked here in the past.

The NHS in the UK is residency based and NOT contribution based, EVERY patient that comes to my desk on a morning has to fill a form out with their details,when they hand it back in I ask them two questions.
1.Have you received treatment in this hospital before.
2.Have you been living in the UK for the last 12 months.

Thank you for the clarification but you seem to be getting bogged down with the detail rather than the story.
