Gypsies get NHS priority

Posted by Vindico |

The Telegraph reports...

Gypsies and travellers should be given priority in NHS hospitals and GP surgeries, according to Government guidance.
They should be given longer consultations, and should be seen by GPs when they walk in without an appointment, even if doctors are fully-booked.

The average length of a consultation is five or ten minutes but travellers will be given 20 minutes and allowed to bring relatives into the consulting rooms.

The guidelines have been introduced because, under race laws, gypsies and travellers are defined as minority ethnic groups and the NHS is obliged to consider their special needs and circumstances.

No, no, no. Everyone is equal, but...!

Do the majority of travellers even pay council tax etc. towards the running of the NHS?
