A Yes Or No Will Do

We have tried to convince that the vaccine is the only tool in the box at the moment, and works pretty good. But for the ones that still refuse for no good reason, should the powers that be notify them that if they require hospital treatment for covid, and they are not vaccinated, that they will be required to pay a private health care rate or at least part rate? Sounds a bit harsh may be, but its harsh on folk waiting on other treatment.

Sqad The OP did not mention anyone being turned away Just additional costs Which is already happening in other countries for the unvaccinated

It's what they are doing in Singapore.
I agree with it. The way I see it, our democratically elected Government decided that vaccines were the way out of this, and sank a great deal of our taxes into developing, procuring and administering those vaccines, which was a gamble that paid off - vaccines are far more economical than treating unvaccinated people.
If people want to choose to not avail themselves of the free vaccines available, then that's their choice and they can pay for the alternative.

This juggernaut of a NHS , we are told is constantly in need of extra cash .
I don't disagree with that.
However I'm convinced that there is wastage that could be eradicated - there is bound to be .
What we need is someone truly independent to conduct a review of where all the cash is going .
Get rid of some of the unwarranted management tiers , which are not contributing anything useful and direct that cash to frontline services

More than extra money, I believe our NHS needs a total overhaul. It's totally disjointed. It would need more money initially just to get things running properly. There's so much dead wood in staffing. I have needed the NHS a lot in recent years, and there's so much need for a good shake up in systems. I have nothing but respect for the treatment from oveworked staff, but with better organisation they wouldnt all be flustered and overworked. Paperwork and beurocrisy seem to be huge issues.
Whilst I appreciate the Best Answer it should have gone to Ellipsis for their post at 18.43 which summed up the matter perfectly
The money and personnel and resources used on the unvaccinated could have all been used elsewhere with compulsory vaccination
It is the one time where civil liberties needed to be curbed for the benefit of the whole population
With the onset of newer variants each year it will become a perpetual problem

Treatment need not be denied, just paid for. That should be the choice: free vaccination and treatment if you still need it following vaccination, OR pay for your own treatment if you don't want a free vaccination.
Not all treatments are free on the NHS, and I don't see why free treatment for Covid should be given to people who refused a free vaccine,
