The number of illegal immigrants could be way more than the recently reported figures. According to the doctor’s union – the British Medical Association – there are 63.7million patients registered with GPs in England alone.
But the most recent ONS estimate of England’s population is just 57.1 million.
So who are the extra
6.6 million patients?
GPs get paid on average £165 per patient, so that’s over £1 billion extra cost
to the NHS & taxpayers.
This of course doesn’t include the enormous cost of the drugs and treatments
that they receive free. There are only two plausible explanations for this
discrepancy in the numbers. Either there is a huge amount of fraud taking
place or the level of illegal immigration is far higher than estimated. I know
which my money is on.
