    Immigrants jump health queue

    My son who has high performing aspergers was to be assessed for something or other, (the wife takes care of home affairs, I just keep chucking the cash in so I do not know what precisely what for), however today we got a phone call saying that the appointment for next week will have to be indefinitely postponed due to an increase in immigrants who have been prioritised.

    We have been waithing ages for this appointment and I do not see why we have to surrender our place in the queue for people who have just came of the boat, surely they should have to join the queue like the rest of us.

    What justificaton is there for this?

    Initially answered PCness until I realised you live in Antrim, as I understand PCness is a far less pervasive and powerful force in the UK than down here.

    Yes - We are having a meeting with people on Fridayconcerning the family, (6 children 4 with aspergers/classic autism mix), which will be informed about it, a Unionists MLA is in attendance, so it will be interesting when we mention this.

    Just remember to verify it with the hospital . Make sure that is actually their policy ,in reality like. You dont want to end up with egg on your face .Im sure the politician will know how to handle it.
