Factor in our population has just been supposedly decimated by a pandemic of biblical proportions.

GPs are scarce on the ground and immigrants without the necessary documents turn up at A&E units- over the last 20yrs we`ve got pretty much the same NHS staff but with about 15 million more people wanting medical care at one time or another.

Where you getting that from?

I now live in a part of the UK with very little immigration, yet our hospitals are also at breaking point, with A&E wait times horrendous and ambulance services stretched to the point of disaster.

Why?

North East has the lowest immigration levels in the country. Around 3-5% of the population.

Also likely to use the NHS less, as they are generally younger and also make up a substantial part of the workforce.

Given that migration adds net value to the UK and uses less public resource, and contributes significantly to the pool of Drs, nurses and dentists, I'd say it's a positive thing.

Likely? what`s with the scientific lingo ? - using likely here has got to be a joke! There are literally specified hospitals for children! Those `younger people` - if and when they are employed are in menial jobs like security guards etc.

The second part of your post reads like a BBC propaganda piece.
Schools, services, infrastructure, housing etc are all strained through the weight of immigration and besides, the NHS is in the `news` every winter giving it the hard sell cap in hand for more tax-payer funding. It`s already been privatised.

That doesn`t negate any claims of over-straining in every area of UK services so stop cherry-picking ...and the north west has got 3 times the population of NE.

You can use the NHS Quicker app for live data on hospital wait times.

Note that The Gordon Hospital in London offer inpatient mental health services and they are currently showing as quiet.

I`ll go and get that NHS mega-quick app super-live thingy, you go and get your shine-box.....and while you`re scuttling off remember that a bit of a lull in the proceedings don`t mean squat.

Earlier you told us it was immigrants. Now you don't know.

OK, Dr. Nick.

Why have you got to make a comparison between a national NHS crisis and some country bumpkin hospital, stop wasting your time.

It`s already been explained in simple terms so if you don`t understand it, so be it.

I like to think everyone's got something to contribute in a discussion, but perhaps the thing you should contribute is silence.

Nothing you've said is evidence of immigration overstraining. You've offered no evidence other than conjecture.
