I wasn't joking or wasn't I , but I'm fed up of seeing freeloaders arriving in their droves abusing a system which was designed to protect the needy and innocent. Aren't you? |
Yes totally fed up, I'm also fed up with our freeloaders abusing it.
It got exponentially worse under the Tories and Reform's plan to deal with it is unworkable nonsense. Who does that leave us with? | | | |

I remember the overtime offered by Merpol when a young Constable .
It was at APH on Fri / Sat weekends.
The main “ patients” were scum either drugged or pyssed up wanting to fight anyone whether a nurse,doctor or porter .. All taking up valuable time and resources.
Nothing has changed
Sister in law was a nurse in Croydon and got tw@toted many times
It’s fair to say ,those arrested and taken to hospital for injuries caused during arrest were also given equal care
Quite how NHS put up with this is incredible .
Frankly, violent patients should not and never should be treated . It’s H and S,at the end of the day | |

It has got worse of that there is no doubt but the blame should be firmly placed on the shoulders of the two political party's who have over seen this disaster and imo its is a disaster for the country and the future of its habitants , now we have a government which has no clear defined cap of numbers of immigrants illegal or otherwise. There hasn't got to be a but " I'm also fed up with our freeloaders abusing it" , I assume we all are, that sentence only highlights the problem because why then would we want to import more who on arrival are very highly unlikely to be initially employable and even though its a relatively small amount of money they receive just think of how much money is spent on providing their care , millions which should be better spent on improving the lives of people already here. | |

The tories and Reform have nothing to do with the NHS in Wales it's devolved. Wales has worse statistics than England which has been until recently tory controlled. |  | | |

Health is devolved and Labour are in charge of spending the allocated cash, but until July the amount was controlled by the Tories in Westminster for 14 years. Austerity there is austerity here.
Westminster have now given a bit more, hopefully they'll put some pressure on the Senedd to remove universal free prescriptions too | | | |

It's not only the money it's how health in Wales is run and that is very badly, far worse that England as the results show. Take Betsi Cadwaladr as an example, in and out of special measures, currently back in, it's really not good enough. Who was the minister responsible for the worst decline, let me guess, our current first minister. | | | |

There is some flexibility for devolved administrations to determine whether the NHS budget is ringfenced or if some money can be used for related non-healthcare expenditure. As I recall, at the time of a significant uplift in the allocation for public services in 2018 (an extra £1.2 billion) Carwyn Jones said that the WG would not ring fence health spending, like the SNP promised to do in Scotland. It is hard to say how much difference this made, as some non-health spending, for example to reduce social inequality, may impact on health. | | | |

I'm not making excuses for the performance of the NHS in Wales. It's not good enough. But making a direct comparison isn't easy.

I don't think we can really blame Labour for the immigration situation. It's a Tory problem. In the last 5 months Labour have deported record numbers of failed asylum seekers, increased funding to the border force, facilitated the Glasgow interpol conference at which trafficking was discussed and influenced Germany to make trafficking to non EU countries illegal.
I'm not a Labour supporter, but that is what they've done that the Tories didn't but could have.
We can't cap illegal immigrants we can only stop them coming here, we can't cap legal immigrants becasue we don't know how many we need. And we do need them.
We're not importing unemployable people we're importing people to do the jobs we won't. They don't require skills they just require you to be able to breathe and move in most cases. Look in a care home or at the stadium on a match day.
Also take a look at a university campus too - we need foreign students to keep universities going. | | | |

My beef with Starmer is that in opposition he went on and on about out of control immigration and getting under it control. In power he refuses to put a number on controlled immigration despite the budget documentation having an allowance for 500,000 a year!
Back to the NHS in Wales Labour have had 25 years to put together a workable plan and they are still fire fighting. [Post edited 11 Dec 11:40]

Hasn't the Senedd just stated they are going to put an extra 600 million into the NHS as part of a 1.5 extra coming to Wales? | | | |

Plaid Cymru have asked the obvious question, what difference will the money make? Which is fair enough bearing in mind the indicators get worse every month on a £10 Billion pounds spend on Heath and Social care in Wales. A six percent increase could easily get eaten up by the existing system. | |

What I meant to say that the previous Labour under Blair started the rot , the Tories then exasperated the problem by playing lip service to the problem, you mention Universities again imo a problem , when overseas students arrive , certainly Chinese they often bring entire families with them ( I believe that has slowed down now), you say Labour can't put a cap on who comes into the UK but why are we the only country unable to do so. Germany for example have tightened legal immigration controls by closing Tegel-Berlin, once the capital's primary international airport and now holding 7,000 immigrants was permanently shut down in 2020 and have no intention of reopening it, France which is going a bit of a political crisis have also have plans to reduce the flow and install caps on immigration Poland is the perfect example of what can be done if the will was there and successive governments have shown us they don't have a desire to do so.
You say we need uneducated unskilled immigrants ,don't you think that's a sad indictment on how our own uneducated, unskilled are thought of ,why is that in one of Starmer's key points | |

Free movement of people will never work, It was an EU policy that Blair should have opted out of.
Universities are only a problem if you are concerned about numbers of migrants rather than their contribution. Universities are businesses now dependent on foreign students, in many medium sized towns and cities the Uni's are the biggest direct employer. Jobs paid for by migrants.
There's a world of difference between limiting and controlling immigration and putting a cap on immigration. That's what France, Germany and the Uk are doing and why Reforms policies won't work. A cap on immigration will only mean that jobs aren't filled unless the cap is lifted making it pointless.
It's not an indictment of how our unskilled are thought of it's that they won't do the jobs. Why local people aren't forming a queue to work in the stadium on a matchday is beyond me - I did when I was in uni - it was money for watching football in most cases. WIthout migrants doing these roles we wouldn't have a sustainable club. | | | |

I accept that certain kinds of immigration are needed to fill certain roles and may even be desirable. Moreover there may be a good case for classifying students in a different way from others. In the past I have helped with several visa applications for persons arriving for short-term work placements., all of whom left at the end of the agreed period. However, the thing that makes me doubtful about the "UK needs immigration" argument is that we have seen over 3 million (gross) arrivals in the last five years and still have skill shortages. It is as though each new cohort is willing to do certain jobs for a short period and then moves on to something else, including in some cases non-employment. This is a kind of never-ending story that slowly becomes less and less sustainable over time because of the very large numbers involved. | | | |

I don’t think Blair could have opted out of the freedom of movement policy as it’s one of the fundamental cornerstones policies the EU have, but he could have opted to introduce “temporary” restrictions on movement when the policy went live. | | | |
