From looking at the comments and tweets and things at the bottom of that Plymouth Herald article it seems that the problem lay with Cross Country trains. Take a look for yourselves. You'll see that their train to Edinburgh had to leave from Exeter St. David's rather than Plymouth and that Cross Country were telling people to use First Great Western trains to get from Plymouth to Exeter. ...

Just thought I'd bring this to people's attention given as council funded homes are closing and not all have the wherewithall to find the money for private nursing home fees. http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/2392.aspx?CategoryID=68 (and yes I know that = public money (aka tax payers' money) going straight into the private sector again but.........we are where we are)
Highly recommend people having a read of the whole of this report (see link at bottom of quote) "As 29% of low paid workers work in retail, this sector in particular is coming under intense scrutiny. A recent report by The Fair Pay Network found that despite collectively making billions of pounds worth of profits and paying their CEO’s millions of pounds a year, not one of ...

So......... Brits working in, or having retired to, another EU country would also have to have had residency in that particular country for at least 5 years? or would it just apply to those with jobs? so what about the health care of ex pat retirees then?
So......... a person turns up at A&E. The hospital people think (from that person's command of English and/or accent) that they might be an immigrant. How do the hospital people ascertain that 1. the person concerned is indeed an immigrant and that 2. they have been in this country the required 5 years. (Do they have to have been working for 5 years by the way and if so how would the hospital ...
Say, just say, that immigrants were to be banned from access to the NHS for 5 years from the date of their arrival in the UK. Anyone any idea how this could be enforced? Could it be - no access to anything. In which case how would immigrants access medical care? Or, access but have to pay. In which case how would the money be recouped and how much would it cost the NHS to do so? How much might ...
