Spyk3r Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 22 minutes ago, Banker said: They need to start charging immigrants for healthcare as uk do and as Clare Christian is proposing, many wealthy South Africans etc getting free healthcare as soon as they land. Healthcare workers get it free and estimate that upto £5m could be raised Its not just South Africans... Anyone who applies for a Visa to the IOM and arrives through a valid entry permit is entitled to it. A lot of people have cottoned on to the fact that there is no IHS for the Isle of Man (Similar for Guernsey and Jersey too). In order to get to the 100k residents, the government will need to make it more attractive - and the lack of an IHS is one way of doing that.

Anyone smarter than me able to elaborate how it affects the island? Copy and paste from The Times journalist Matt Dathan on twitter.... NEW: Big climb down just slipped out without any fanfare by the Home Office on its plans to reduce immigration Minimum income threshold needed to bring foreign spouses to UK will only rise to £29,000 initially. No timeline for it to be raised to £38,700 Edited December 21, 2023 by newaccount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 now you know why A and E , the doctors surgeries dentists ,waiting lists and everything else health related are choked up . bring in all these people who haven't made a contribution to the system and from countries where the health service is even poorer then ours (and thats saying something ) and this is what you get , we haven't touched the education system and schools yet ,where classes some are bulging at the seams and a high rise in children with special needs that also cost a fortune all so Alf can be claiming to grow the economy ? the policy is a disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be fairly simple for people to work it out. Is this related to this? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/11/sold-a-dream-migrant-workers-at-childrens-care-chain-left-without-pay-for-months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
