My doctor was late to my appointment because he had been at the local country hotel full of asylum seekers...

When was the last time you had a home visit? Is this a way of managing the " problem" by them taking clinics there? Is it a way of hiding this issue? I understood they did not have access to the NHS yet I see massive bags of medicine labelled for this hotel too at the dispensary. We wait about 6-7 weeks for a routine appointment.

…not just your file

Hello Nigel

Of course, asylum seekers have access to the NHS, you're thinking of no recourse to public funds which is housing and some benefits. Urgent healthcare is accessed, Urgent is anything that requires prescription medication.

The Dr saw you. Problem solved

If you were actually local you will know there aren't single men at this property any longer

Well something's thick, that's for sure!

😂

The question is why is it any of your business what a GP does before your appointment. You don’t even know if it’s true.

Only an asylum seeker can be in a desperate situation? What an insane conclusion. Housed in a safe country, entitled to free health care education and fed clothed and watered at the expense of tax paying citizens? Trust me there are people much worse off born in the uk

And boomers

I have e mailed MN to ascertain the veracity of this as this thread was hidden. It is not made up. Yes the doctor was indiscreet.

Quick google tells me that if there is an asylum case lodged, an appeal or refugee status then they are entitled to NHS care so not sure where you got your incorrect information from.

I know the news always focus on hotels full of men but there are full families there too. My school has taken in 15 families all legally brought here by the government resettlement scheme. The dads all worked in the military supporting UK troops.
Obviously these families don't provoke the same rage as as the single men.

It's in everyone's interest that these people get basic medical care and vaccinations.

It is bloody goady and racist. Racists have no shame now do they? They ( you) have an open licence to spout this shit due to Farage and Trump.

The last time I had a home visit from a GP was 35 years ago and I was blue-lighted to hospital for an emergency appendectomy.

My lovely mum ended up with pretty much weekly visits when she was dying with cancer. My dsis is a GP and makes home visits twice a week.

We are a humanitarian species op - are you seriously saying refugees don't deserve medical attention?

How do you know that's where he had been? How are you seeing bags of medicines in the dispensary, do you work there or something or does your GP / dispensary have a real problem with rules around confidentiality? What is that a photo of?

Maybe he was signing someone's death certificate, would that make you happy?

If anyone ever wondered why reform have gained so much support its attitudes like this

We have an asylum hotel in my village, about a mile from me.

I've only ever seen women and children walking along the road to the shop.

I'm perfectly happy for us to provide healthcare for all human beings.

Because he's working "on the side" during his NHS hours. There were adverts for GP's to do "shifts" at asylum hotels on VERY good money outside the NHS. He should not have been "moonlighting" when he should have been working during his NHS hours.

Not beside us. There's a security sentry box there.

Really @taxguru? I never knew this.

He said so. I have eyes to see them.

And yet here you are, discussing it.

Are you for real? Of course they need health checks , makes such more sense to have an on-site bulk visit than have everyone go to the surgery abd if you're asking about home visits my mum had one yesterday maybe you need to take of racist blinkers before making daft comments
