It looks like our NHS system may be pulling their socks up! With many controversial issues regarding the National Health System it is about time they begin to make some changes in order to make the system safer for all residents of the UK.
With many illegal immigrants wondering the streets of Great Britain, and many foreign residents living here, the NHS have put together a new idea that they will start asking patients to provide two forms of ID before they are treated by doctors or nurses.
Now on a positive note this may be a good thing as it will increase the safety of patients already being treated within the hospital, by checking the identity of patients it will reduce the risk of impostors and make sure the right patients are being treated for the right diagnosis.
The NHS have said that they have
'a lot further to go in reclaiming money for treating foreign visitors'
Therefore as an overview their security needs to be improved.
On the other hand, a lot of British residents living in the UK do not own the two forms of ID that hospitals are asking for. The NHS have asked for a passport/birth certificate and a driving license or another form of ID that proves ones identity. With many elderly patients being treated this is said to be difficult due to many elderly not ever travelling outside the UK moreover not owning a passport and have never learnt to drive.
The most treated within a hospital environment is the elderly moreover the NHS need to base most research in to this development around them, if they are unable to provide two forms of ID, are the NHS then going to refuse them treatment?
Are the NHS going to let them suffer based around the fact they have no ID to prove who they are? What if they are born British and have lived in Britain all of their lives, paying taxes towards the National Health System?
I think there are some things that need to be reviewed on this new idea from the NHS.
What about you? What do you think?
My cats have never had any issues by having one....
Plus it is surely a lot more work and administration...that the staff can ill afford.
