You are all missing the point. If my country was at war and another country took me in, I would be very grateful - not complaining that the doctor operating to save my life did not speak my language !!!

It would be free in Ukraine Poppyred - but there is a war on there, in case you hadn’t noticed.

What would you have preferred Poppyred? For her to drop down dead?

I think the NHS should only be available to UK citizens. I can only presume that this Ukranian lady fell ill (probably heart attack) when she was visiting her daughter and so, will automatically be entitled to treatment. It’s not right to send a sick back to the Ukraine.

Yes, probably, maybe be grateful.. How much would it cost in her own country??

Ukrainian refugees are entitled to NHS treatment.

There was a Ukrainian woman on Welsh news programme tonight complaining that she didn’t have a translator to explain what was happening during her heart operation and after treatment. Her daughter was there and able to speak English and pass on this information to her.
There was no mention of her paying for her treatment so obviously carried out for free under the NHS…..
