The founding principle of the NHS was that it would offer free-at-the-point-of-delivery healthcare. Surely this should apply whether you go to hospital as a patient, as a visitor or a member of staff. It's simply not fair to expect patients or visitors to have to pay when they come to hospital, when they may be suffering personal anxiety, stress or grief.

Immigration from other, less stable surrounding countries. Rampant poverty. An AIDs epidemic . A huge drug and alcohol problem. Competing ethnicities with centuries of hostile history.
