You can easily do that filter at initial assessment. Emergency, go through there and get treated. Non-emergency go down there and show some id
Ramsaye-
No.
It's subjective, bureaucratic, and will distract A&E resources towards paper pushing penny pinching whilst those that are in need with real emergencies wait because some % of staff are now fucking around with paperwork.
Christ you are heartless and cold.
If anyone wants to know where the line is on the NHS... it's A&E.
Velocio
WTF.
I agree to identity for non-emergency to ensure medical records are present, and that services aren't being abused.
But... emergency is emergency. There is never a scenario that I would agree to that would deny or even delay any emergency treatment due to a request for identity, payment, or anything. If someone is in need, if it's an emergency, then that's the priority... nothing else.
Fuck the fascist extension and introduction of charges in A&E on the back of this racist culture that seems to exist at the moment.
Sure we can have a more efficient and better health system, but A&E... keep the idealogy a long way from that.
