I saw it try to happen here about 5 yrs ago. An immigrant tried to
jump a surgery queue in the local hospital. Fortunately the surgeon was
French and he knew what the pecking order was, so the immigrant was sent
home with a flea in his ear.

They're already getting priority in social housing in the UK.
So health care could be next.

You need to get a grip, Dave. There is no reason for any family to sleep
on the street. And I've never seen it. Despite doing voluntary work with
the homeless in this part of London.

Single people may do. Sometimes their choice as they prefer it to a
hostel. And often because hostels won't let drunks etc in.

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.

That would be a tad expensive to cover all languages.
Why not use vets for those unable to speak the language? Vets seem to do a
wonderful job with their patients, none of which actually talk any language.

Who would be responsible for any mis-interpretations? It is ridiculous
to expect staff who happen to have experience of a non-UK language to be
able to translate at a sufficiently high level. There's plenty of native
English speakers who struggle with some of the language of medicine. And
you need a translator to be competent in both languages involved.

Sure, in an emergency, anyone is likely better than no-one.

Well, yes. If you have to book a freelance interpreter, the patient could
be dead by the time he arrives. And a patient won't necessarily know the
correct medical terms for his symptoms anyway.

Presumably because it would be much more expensive
to have interpreters for all the languages they need in
every town they have a hospital etc. Much more practical
to have that done the way they have done it, particularly
when they can't just use one of the hospital staff that does
happen to speak that language when the patient doesn't
have a relative who can translate etc.

No one, just like when a relative is used.

It is ridiculous
to expect staff who happen to have experience of a non-UK language to be
able to translate at a sufficiently high level.


There is no high level involved.

There's plenty of native
English speakers who struggle with some of the language of medicine.


That's why the medical personnel use normal
language to the patients in any language.

And
you need a translator to be competent in both languages involved.


But only in the normal language, not the language of medicine.

Sure, in an emergency, anyone is likely better than no-one.


Not just in an emergency. When asking where it hurts and
whether it hurts when you take a deep breath etc, you don’t
need any language of medicine.

The thing is, though, having travelled widely throughout europe, it's
clear the UK is the only country that provides free, on-demand
interpreters for claimants of all sorts. Nowhere else does this; it's
plain lunacy.

The majority of the reffuges, asylum seekers, ecomonic migrants, immigrants what ever you wish to call them will be in family groups, they WILL get housed FIRST as a priority long before our single homeless people get housed.
They'll even get house before any one else in the UK, mainly because of the kids.

That is what I said originally and that is what is happening, why do you think there are so many small obsure hotels springing up in non tourist areas of london ?

I know so where do all the syrian famailes and the refugee familes end up ?
whether it's 10,000 or 20,000 they aren't all single people and we're told that
we have a housing shortage and that there are homless people, but we have homes for 20k people arriving in the UK and we have homes for them just sitting there waiting to be occupied where are these homes ?
We've had DIY SOS building home for a dozon or so 'war hereos' and for every home offered that's one less for the polish or the romainsns or the bulgarians or all the other EU and commonweath citizens are trying to buy or rent.



Did you work for outreach, they are a disgrace a friend of mine

I meant the legal ones ****wit, not those that claim they will be killed if they return home but chose to leave their wife and kids behind.


they WILL get housed FIRST as a priority long

And so they should.


I'd agree but who's paying and where are these houses and rooms coming from ?
the UK isn't like the Tardis.


They'll even get house before any one
else in the UK, mainly because of the kids.


That's a lie with those in the UK with kids.


but those in teh UK havent; got kids most if they have the brains get themselves sorted before having kids.



and that is what is happening, why do you think there are so many

how will the average syrian family afford such a place.
Here's a local cheapish one.
http://www.commongatehotel.co.uk/

but I still don't see how they can afford it, can you explain it ?

In general, single people have always been expected to find their own
accommodation. Bedsit, etc.

Which is the problem with the 'bedroom tax' Very little council
accommodation built for single people or even couples. Most of it for
families. And when the kids leave, the parents end up with a house bigger
than their needs - and might well happily move to somewhere more suitable,
if it existed.

Yes and in the past this has been quite easy to achieve. From 1986 until relatively recently you could view and chose where to live.
Plenty of affordable places on the market.

Now can you actualy find anywhere were you could afford to live
if you were looking for your first bedsit or flat ?

Yes and we all know families appear from thin air don't we.

And when the kids leave, the parents end up with a house bigger
than their needs - and might well happily move to somewhere more suitable,
if it existed.


and because there isn't they emigrate in some cases, in others they move to the coast or other areas which of course increases the prices for the locals there.


I'm suprised no ones noticed that the UK population is increasing relatively fast considering we have on average 2.4 kids per couple.
