Well, do some research & let us all know what you discover.

The trouble is (certainly here) that the NHS has to pay £500 for 3 hours
of a translators time - even if only a few minutes are required - and
then per hour after that. I can understand making sure that if one is
needed, they are fed a constant stream of patients to make the best use
of their time. I'd be pretty ****ed off if I was a local stuck behind
them though.

What foreigners speaking another language in our NHS.
Seems strange that we need to import foreigners into the NHS at ~£150 an hour.
Why aren;t there any jobs at £9
