Of course there is another type of fraud affecting the NHS. I know some on here won't want to hear it but it is foreign nationals utilising the NHS when they have no entitlement. I workd on the NHS fraud unit for several year so I do know what I am talking about.
Obviously if a foreign national is involved in an accident whilst on holiday they will be treated on the NHS (now I believe they may try to obtaing costs back).
The best/worst examples to use were women (mainly West African) who concealed the fact that they were heavily pregnant (not difficult when you know how) to travel to the UK. On arrival, if discovered, they would not be able to be removed as they were past the date an airline would accept them... therefore NHS. Then of course you had those suffering from aids related illnesses who travelled from countries who had not treatment. Did I blame them? Absolutely not but should the NHS pay? Absolutely not
Part of my job was to liaise with GPs/hospitals regarding the eligibility of people for NHS treatment, the number who refused to co-operate was staggering, why? I will leave that up to you to decide (but not Data Protection)

I fully understand as I work with immigrants and refugees and see this kind of thing all the time. Whenever I tell people that honestly 90% of 'refugeess' are not at all genuine - I'm called racist. That's because all the hipsters must know better than me. I only work with them everyday of the week.

Strange, no one implied that but you...

It’s ironic they are out in support of a party that was in favour of cutting that welfare.

I would like them to be in a situation where they can support their families and maintain their health. Not forced into work by bad governance

How many dead is a good number if we had not locked down. Protect the vulnerable and distancing being the methods.? How many would you think there would have been and would that number be acceptable to prevent the financial issues we may face.

I do wonder how much we would have protected the elderly and vulnerable if everyone was at work and school as normal. I still wonder when everyone goes back, although there will be lots of regular local providers of groceries and prescriptions now that can continue. It’s just going to be much more difficult when lots of people go back to work. And don’t rely on supermarkets delivering to those who need a delivery. That didn’t last longer than a week before they reverted back to delivery slots for anyone lucky enough to get one, and at that point they order 3-4 weeks of cupboard food and booze, compared to the more likely small shop by many of the elderly and vulnerable, apart from of course the big wine drinking baby boomers and big families with a child during treatment or a low immune system. Twitter is full of people bragging or envious of people booking a delivery slot after all the supermarkets have done is politely ask customers to go to the shop and leave the delivery slots for those who need them.

No, I do not believe the elderly and vulnerable would have been protected without a lockdown and many people have needed the lockdown to get some grasp of social distancing. Some still don’t get it or are bored of it. That’s mainly teenagers but they aren’t alone on this.
