A new report alleges that the UK's National Health Service (NHS) is prioritizing illegal migrants and asylum seekers over native Britons, leading to long wait times for British citizens seeking treatment at Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments. The report highlights NHS schemes like '987 Inclusion Health' that prioritize 'undocumented migrants,' allowing them to skip the queue. Even rejected asylum seekers are reportedly given preferential treatment over many native Britons, with special 'walk-in services' offered to them at community day centers in South London.
Illegal migrants and so-called asylum seekers are being prioritised over native Britons by the United Kingdom’s National Health Service , a report has claimed.
Meanwhile, London’s Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospital has a specific healthcare programme for “refugees and asylum seekers” in Lambeth and Southwark, which also includes access for illegal migrants and asylum seekers. “Our £26billion investment in the NHS and reforms to the health service will make sure that it’s there for everyone, once again.”
The preferential treatment for migrants was also lambasted by political opponents of the leftist Labour Party government, such as Reform UK boss Nigel Farage, who remarked: “Welcome to Keir Starmer’s Britain. This is unfair, it’s wrong, and only Reform will end it.”
