Tax Payers demand the Foreign Aid Budget be cut to cover unpaid NHS bills.
Health tourism throughout the UK is a huge strain on our NHS. We are beginning to see in the media how people from countries across the world are abusing this system & not paying for treatment they've received.The Taxpayers in the UK are forced to pay for this. NHS is National NOT International.
We are demanding that the Government claws back this money from the Foreign Aid Budget. The amounts given to certain countries should be reduced by how much their citizens have used through our NHS & not re-payed back into our system. The NHS is in dire need of cash, we need this money to be paid back. To expect the hard working people of the UK to foot the bill of someone having 4 children through IVF & then just fly home to their mother country is just not fair. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4176406/Meet-Nigerian-cost-500-000-IVF-triplets.html
