I do know my local hospital wiped out thousands of pounds in owed money from foreign patients.

They said it will cost them more in trying to get it back. What they should do at hospitals, is quite simple. Have a resident GP from a local surgery at the hospital. And let them decide, if the patient needs hospital treatment.

I went there, as l could not raise my arm. They told me to see a GP, they made the appointment, l went there that afternoon. And then l was told l needed a steroid, sent me back and done it.

When asked why the GP couldn't do it, l got told they didn't have a qualified nurse to stick the needle in.

And the hospital A&E was packed with various people with kids running round.
