I am a great supporter of the NHS and indeed at present getting excellent treatment from it.

However one saving that could be made at hospitals is notices everywhere for people to get translators for various obscure languages at our expense. I was advised it cost GBP 100.00 a time to get a translator.

I believe translators should be supplied , if required , for foreign tourist or business people who are bringing money into the country but NOT for people who want to live here.They should learn the language as a priority or if not bring a friend or family member who can.

Howmany other countries , I wonder , offer such a service. We could save millions nationwide. I trust the next Government will change the rules.
