Good to see the A & E waiting times dramatically falling, down to 15 minutes for some.

Migrants jump queue at A&E as UK taxpayers forced to wait

Former Health Secretary Steve Barclay called for the NHS to provide answers about why a system providing "preferential treatment for those here illegally at our expense" was deemed necessary.

Lots of dDifferent queues, thousands of them, up and down the country. Its an NHS problem not a migrant one. Will be interesting to see if the patients going direct to scans proposal will work i.e. missing out consultants. Receptionists and IT will eventually take over GP practices

As usual it’s Right Wing grifters taking something out of context.

“it's not just available to undocumented migrants but to a wide range of people who might find accessing healthcare difficult. People with alcohol and drug dependencies, people with learning disabilities, homeless people, victims of trafficking and/or slavery, sex workers etc. Its primary concern is tackling health inequality for vulnerable groups.

You must also fill in the referral form below. James and the team will then book the patient into AEC and confirm the time and date with you for the patient to attend.

Eligible patients must be referred to this service via another healthcare provider, such as a GP - the page here is addressed to professionals and not patients. As far as I can tell, patients cannot self-refer.

Then they're given a fixed appointment. Based on the fact it says "time and date", they'd possibly be waiting multiple days rather than multiple hours.

It is not a "priority" service nor is it "focusing specifically on helping migrants", as the Telegraph alleges.”

Migrants can not rock up to A&E and get in the queue first.

Trump loves the uneducated……because they can’t read beyond the right wing bullsh1t spewed by the Telegraph, Express etc.
