After Brexit.

Was watching a programme on the TV called Hospital. A man from Greece had come over here for a liver transplant, paid for by his country. They were saying that once we are out of the EU, this won't be able to happen and apparently it brings in a lot of money to our NHS. It also means of course that we won't be able to send someone from this country to a EU country for a much needed operation. I must admit I didn't know this did you? I think perhaps I didn't find out as much as I should have before I cast my vote and now I'm wondering what else we will miss out on.

calmk I have no idea what it was like in the 60's but when I was working in the NHS, the rules were clear. No NHS resource could be used to operate private facilities. NHS facilities were permitted to operate private services but could not use NHS staff hours etecetera to do so. Staff had to be paid separately for their work, utilities had to be paid for by money transferred back into NHS funds rent had to be paid on buildings and so on. One place I used to work was contracted to local cruise companies to provide remote medical advice. It was a nice little earner for the hospital but the had to be scrupulous about paying for any NHS resources used.
