Now you've hit the nail on the head. Go into a surgery or hospital in the North East of England for example and you could be the only, at the risk of sounding racist, 'white person' there. That's not so bad where I live now but in my last area I used to sit waiting to see the doctor and play "spot the Brit."
Of course, this next point has nothing to do with immigration or the EU but on the subject of the NHS: The problem as I see it is that because surgeries are shared or merged it is hard to get an appointment in your area. Why should you have to travel several miles to another part of the practice to get a quicker appointment when you want one? My problem here is my disabled scooter won't take the journey there and back if I can't get the appointment when I want in my area. I can't get the bus, because I can't walk more than 10 feet when I get off. Taxis are expensive. This is just one example.
