I would love to know how they present themselves at hospital for none A and E
Treatment without first being referred by their doctor and then going through the filter system.
I know it happens, but just don't know how.
I am all for this clamp down. Especially for pregnant women coming over here to give birth.

I don't think there's a lot that can be done in terms of childbirth... All they would have to do is wait until they're in active labour and then call an ambulance. They're not going to be turned away at the door when it could pose a risk to the health of the mother and the baby.

How do you get a non urgent hip operation on the NHS if you are not resident, what resident can present themselves in a clinic without an appointment if this is happening its down to poor management and about time it was addressed, the figures involved suggests it's quite commonplace
