Illegals and medtourism or just lack of proper identification?

#3 This is what happens when you recognize GPs and medical graduates from India and Pakistan as doctors and give them fancy social welfare schemes to play havoc with. Getting a medical degree in India is a negotiable exercise for the rich. I suspect it may be the same in Pak. These bright young graduates buy their way into a practice in the UK. Masters of gaming a similar, less trusting system back home, they begin to scam the decrepit NHS. Some are caught and sent back, some can actually not only cost the UK millions but also cost people their lives, being treated at their hands.
