Funnily enough that was one of the examples that I was using when I was talking to that fella about improving health by design.Another example of the need for a joined approach @Jebus_lives

You can build slack into the system though. It's a matter of planning and investing. Currently there are so many oblique drains on time for clinicians that the clinical side of the role gets swamped.
You can, but it seldom seems to work out like that. Electronic medical records are a good example of a technology that "should" free up time, but has ended up being the bain of many clinicians' life and roundly unpopular due to the extra stress it causes. Automatic transcription is another technology that has long promised to free up time spent on administration, but to my knowledge, it hasn't been widely deployed anywhere yet.
The NHS had its Healthy Towns thing a few years back didn't it? No idea what happened to that in the end.
It certainly did. I don't think there was ever really any formal plan or funding arrangement in place to evaluate the sustained impact of it.
It just seemed to fade away...
It varies, but part of the solution should be automation - but a lot of the time the NHS is bolting new initiatives onto decrepit systems.
A new patient record system will be bought and rolled out across a trust where they will still be using XP as the operating system on critical hardware.
Why is someone half as likely to use the NHS just because they have an overseas passport? Do overseas passports confer some sort of miraculous health benefit that UK passports don't? Are migrants naturally more healthy? Are they immune to certain conditions that indigenous Brits suffer?
Do you have a link to some sort of solid, peer-reviewed study or other academic data to back up this statement?
It's quite straightforward really. The overwhelming majority of immigrants are of working age. The overwhelming majority of healthcare spending is on the very young and the very old.
What is the age profile of UK immigrants?
Most immigrants to the UK were aged 20–30 and employed. A large-scale job loss for UK citizens is unlikely with the UK jobless rate near a record low

Indeed, the over 65s represent about 20% of the population but consume around 40% of NHS spending.
Younger & lack of access to services.
What do we know about the impact of immigration on the NHS?
Immigration is a hotly contested political issue, with both the costs and benefits under debate. The potential impact of immigration on the NHS is one aspect of this wider discussion, with competing claims that it is both good for, and bad for, the health service.

‘no doubt that EEA migrants contribute more to the health workforce than they consume in health care’ (one for the Brexit brigade that).
Presumably you've got something to the contrary?
So the differentiator is in fact age, rather than whether or not someone is a migrant? A 35 year old UK citizen is no more or less likely to use the NHS for any given reason than a 35 year old immigrant?It's quite straightforward really.

The denial that there's any sort of crisis by the dirtbirds in power is ludicrous.
