So, out of every penny of the NHS budget (I'm guessing you have scanned over it here) the biggest waste you could find on "non-medical" care is interpreters? Really?

Also, the only way someone cannot be fluent in English (especially when it comes to discussing medical issues and treatment which is a tough thing to do even when Doctor/Patient share a language) is them being "lazy people"? Really?

Oh but, wait...

Well, it's hard to debate these stone cold facts.

It is very expensive.
