Stop the NHS being abused by "Health Tourists".
The NHS is struggling to provide the necessary levels of healthcare to its proper patients, the citizens of this country. The diversion of NHS funds to support the treatment of "Health Tourists" contributes to a lack of funds for the treatment of real UK citizens of all ethnic backgrounds.
This deliberate abuse of the NHS by "Health Tourists" causes a considerable reduction of funds available for the proper work of the NHS.
The lack of NHS funds and resources causes delays and cancellations of treatment, in turn resulting in suffering and deaths of UK patients who are unable to get their required treatment in good time.
