British Government sells Britons' organs to Foreigners in the UK

The disgraceful system that the NHS always seemed doomed to become has finally been found out in one of the most shameful incidents that now occur almost daily under what Churchill foretold would become its potential Gestapo like bureaucracy (see the link on my post of yesterday). The Sunday Times, linked here, reports that the NHS has been selling organ transplants and the following quotes give the essence of the scandal:

The liver transplants took place at NHS hospitals, despite severe shortages that mean many British patients die while waiting for an organ that could save their lives.

The documents disclose that 40 patients from Greece and Cyprus received liver transplants in the UK paid for by their governments. Donated livers were also given to people from non-European Union countries including Libya, the United Arab Emirates, China and Israel.

The surgeons who carry out the transplants receive a share of the operation fee — believed to be about £20,000 — as all the work is done privately in NHS hospitals.

It comes as a record 8,000 Britons are on NHS lists waiting for transplant organs. About 260 British patients are waiting for a liver.

May I point my readers to the link at the end of my posting of yesterday which gives a neat presentation on the history of the NHS in detail, excluding the destruction of the national character which even Churchill did not foresee as an inevitable side effect. Excluding smokers, the obese and other groups from treatment can never be the answer but there are workable alternatives; the example across the Channel in France works quite well but still consumes too much of the national wealth! Think what a monster this NHS has become - selling livers to foreigners while British subjects wait and die, was this the spirit of Beveridge? Where is the political party with the courage to propose reform?
