Let's try again, shall we?

Muslim Kenyan doctor welcome?

Muslim Australian entrepreneur welcome?

Muslim American scientist welcome?

Dutch dentist, Canadian banker, Portuguese nurse, Indian IT specialist, Ghanaian care assistant, Finnish lecturer, French chef, Spanish optician and limitless NHS workers all welcome even if Muslim?

It really is a simple question...

But the person buying alcohol has paid a shed load of tax in their purchase to cover the negative impacts, the runners and other sports people are just choosing to put themselves at risk....

The NHS needs to focus its resources and saving its money for those who need it and not on those who can provide for themselves works for me - similar in Australia and Germany which are well regarded....

Whats a foreigner? Someone who doesnt pay tax here as opposed to someone who came here later in life..?

How would you fill the hundreds of thousands of NHS jobs your attitude towards immigration would leave vacant....?

What about dangerous sports, going to charge them for their injuries incurred in the sport? what about runners and footballers who hurt themselves doing that, after all its a choice and some people are fat through health issues... and of course people go to A&E because they cant get in to see their GP, but you dont seem to be charging for GPs?

Like the govt you are tinkering around the edges, and those measures wont tackle the funding crisis for more expensive medicines, cancer treatments etc

Govt started down the fat tax - tax on sugary drinks (why only those and nothing else, who knows) but cant see the numbers of people needing the NHS falling yet...

Why not make it health insurance for all those who can afford it or whose employer can afford it and make free care for those who have no choice?

Dont charge for alcohol admission, charge for the alcohol in the first place - with a minimum unit charge. And of course you mention alcohol and fat (both legal) but no mention of drugs..?

Not going to argue with the sick pay point - although I imagine the NHS is slightly more stressful than buying a few cars and driving round the country... but this stat is scary...
Sickness absence rate in the public and private sectors UK 1995-2022. In 2022, the sickness absence rate in the United Kingdom's public sector was 3.6 percent, compared with 2.3 percent in the private sector.

That's more than 50% higher. I imagine there are people at work in the private sector who shouldnt be as they cant afford to be off, and equally i imagibe there are some people in the public sector who treat sick days like holiday, allowed so many a year and use all of them!
