Overseas patients have left the NHS with more than £150million in unpaid bills for treatment, a Daily Mail investigation reveals.
The cash could pay for 6,000 nurses, 22,000 heart bypasses or nearly 5,500 junior doctors.
Two hospitals in London are owed £28million each, including almost £500,000 from one patient alone.
The revelation comes amid a new-found reluctance among frontline staff to chase payments, with doctors’ leaders saying their obligation to charge overseas patients is ‘racist’ and deters vulnerable groups from seeking help.
But Tory MP Philip Davies said: ‘It is the National Health Service, not an international health service and it is essential these charges are made for overseas visitors.’
Freedom of information requests by the Mail found King’s College Hospital in south London is owed £28.3million from foreign patients for treatment in the last few years. In east London, Barts Health Trust is chasing £27.8million of unpaid bills, including £467,000 from one patient, whose nationality or identity was not disclosed when questions were asked.

10. New trial ordered for 2 men on Via Rail terror charges
Ontario’s highest court has granted a new trial for two men who were found guilty of terrorism charges after being accused of plotting to derail a Via Rail passenger train in the Greater Toronto Area.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario ordered Tuesday that the 2015 convictions of Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier be set aside.
A new trial was ordered.
The pair had argued in court earlier this year that the judge who oversaw the case made several errors, including in rejecting their request as to the method of jury selection.
Jaser and Esseghaier were found guilty in 2015 on a total of eight terror-related charges between them. They were originally sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole until 2023.
The Toronto judge who presided over their trial found both men had not renounced their extremists beliefs, nor had they accepted responsibility for their offences.
(Wouldn’t it be nice to know what “their method of jury selection” would be?)

Thank goodness PTrump is working with a patriotic Brazilian president. Gotta keep the screws on the Mexican communist, AMLO.
Welcome back, we missed you.
#Me too!
I have been waiting for the reader’s comments to appear but, it hasn’t
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14568/muslims-against-antisemitism
this has to be one of the most twisted essays I have ever seen on Gatestone Institute.
Read the comments, no one is buying this.
Sorry to hijack this thread but I have to go to sleep now and your reader’s comments isn’t up yet.
Yucki and Norsradish… Where are you? I worry.
I’m here, Babs!
The article is hooey. Image polishing.
No doubt some cats don’t threaten birds, look hard enough you’ll find them.
I guess I missed the memo. You went to Kiev?
Great to see you back in the comments again!
The only time they don’t threaten birds is when they aren’t hungry.
Yucki! Hmph. Must be nice. Off eating chicken in Kiev while we’re stuck here eating freeze-dried word paste like the grunts we are. It’s about time. Welcome back! Now say a hundred Hail Mary’s and clean yer pop gun.
NR got mad and took his toys home. It happens. My summer holiday consisted of refusing to use the letter “C” for 10 days. –Not much of a break but at least I got away from the word Collective, or variations thereof, which artfully brings me to:
6- great article. What makes a person difficult to “collect”? Beats me, but my intuition tells me it has some elemental tie to how one is raised. And how one is raised has something to do with how one is fathered. Ironic, considering the mini collective that is the nuclear family is the launch pad to autonomy in an automaton world. Of course, many a soft mind comes from loving parents, which is why we must specifically point out to our children the insects that bite in the garden of ideas.
Too many people are too polite for their own good, which pretty much summarizes Dystopia.
A break from “collective” is a start. A vacation from anything ending in “-ist” would be really refreshing.
Kiev is dense with history that grips the guts. I visited an old cemetery that’s being restored. Inscriptions in 16th century Ladino, a Kilroy was here experience.
The people think stories about our woke progs are a scam, fake news. Romanticizing Communists and Nazis? Responding to such evil politely?
Maybe the Soviets were right for once, describing the West as decadent and doomed.
Nah, nobody could be that stupid.
My sister married a fella originally from Belarus. She also thought it was very interesting, plus she learned the language which makes it so much better.
It’s pretty hard to be decadent and doomed when you’re forced to make an honest living. The more socialist we become the more time and false prosperity we have for decadence. Belarus still keeps ’em drunk–an old tactic of Soviet control.
Still a struggle to make a living there. Looks pretty bleak to me, despite the optimistic mood with the new president. The EUSSR on one side, The Bear on the other.
My Russki’s kid doesn’t have enough self-confidence to leave. The language barrier, the skewed images they have of Israel and the USA. I wish…
Excellent you’re giving your offspring Hungarian lessons. When your son gets interested in girls, it’s off to Magyar-land for summer camp. He’ll come back laughing at his commie classmates, “There’s yer multiculti.”

I’m surprised there are any Jews left at all in Erdogan’s burgeoning neo-caliphate shithole.
Once bought a fez in ’84 from a nice Jewish merchant lady in the covered bazaar in Istanbul. Long before I knew anything.

-besides being jihadis migrants are trying to spread Islam by indoctrination.

It’s a terribly sad story. They never find who poisons the dogs but, deep down, we all know.
