What is the cost of #charging in the #NHS?
“When I first saw Sara, I thought she was cuddling a baby under her cardigan and that she had brought her sick child to see us. I was terribly wrong.” Peter, GP volunteer in our clinic @Kandel_Light @MetroUK 1/4 metro.co.uk/2019/08/16/im-…

“It is difficult to see how the already overstretched #NHS will manage to distinguish between #EU citizens with a right to NHS care and those who will have to pay – especially as two million settled EU citizens do not have settled status paperwork yet.” #PatientsnotPassports 2/4 
“Hospitals and the whole #NHS will also be put under immense pressure. Hospitals are already struggling to implement the current rules, often making mistakes and denying treatment in cases where it was urgent and necessary.” 3/4
I’m incredibly concerned that hospitals are ordered to charge #EU patients w irregular status straight away in case of no-deal Brexit. The current #charging system is a shambles, patients like Sara are too scared to get the help they urgently needed. It's unethical & unworkable.
