THE NHS is chucking tens of millions of pounds down the drain by failing to stamp out health tourism.
At a time of sky-high taxes, it’s intolerable that money is being lavished on “free” care for foreign visitors.
New figures show that hospitals are owed £252million for treatment given to patients from abroad — that’s enough to provide 5,000 extra nurses.
The NHS prides itself on providing medical attention free at the point of use to anyone who needs it, irrespective of their status or wealth.

To make matters worse, one of the main reasons managers do not bother to chase outstanding fees is simply that it makes them feel “uncomfortable”.

Petering out
PAINFULLY slowly, the truth about the Peter Mandelson debacle is being dragged out of Number Ten.
After going to ground at the end of last week, Sir Keir Starmer surfaced yesterday to admit he HAD known about emails from Mandelson to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein when he defended his US ambassador at Prime Minister’s Questions.
Specifically he knew the Foreign Office was investigating what would prove to be a huge scandal, but did not know — or did not ask — precisely what had been written.
This is a prime example of the PM blasting himself in both feet.
First by chaotically backing then sacking Mandelson — and then by taking an age to set out the facts.
Danny ploy
WHILE Labour rips itself apart, Nigel Farage is getting on with making Reform more professional.
MP Danny Kruger — the latest Tory defector to his party — is a serious thinker, with experience of No10.
Putting him in charge of Reform’s preparations for Government is another sign Farage isn’t messing around.
