This story is a sad case of someone having what sounds like a terminal illness, however the story does not indicate if the person was already ill when they came into this country.

I believe it makes all the difference if a foreign person falls ill and is diagnosed during the time they are legally in this country, but if someone comes here because they are ill that should be treated as a different matter.

We should not offer charity to others until our own are looked after, I have a relative (not close) in her early 30's who is now wheelchair bound. The NHS will not operate until she is at least 60 years old, because the remedial work only lasts about 10 years.

Thankfully a Dutch woman has funded the life saving dialysis she needed for the next 3 months at least.
