GPs Will Receive £11,250 A Month To Treat Migrants Facing Deportation

GPs are being offered £135,000 a year to provide ‘first-class’ healthcare to foreign criminals and illegal migrants facing deportation.

Earnings of up to the equivalent of £11,250 a month are being waved at doctors to look after migrants held in immigration removal centres (IRCs).

Healthcare provider Practice Plus Group, a contractor working on behalf of the Home Office, is advertising for a taxpayer-funded GP at Heathrow Airport IRC.

The position involves providing ‘first-class healthcare to a mixed patient population’ and adds that doctors will develop knowledge in areas which are not usually experienced in standard GP practices or A&E settings.

‘Within this role you will be working closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide high-quality patient care,’ the job advert states.

‘You will deliver clinical sessions, inpatient ward rounds and blood screening. Ideal applicants would enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, and have some experience with patients who have a history of substance misuse needs and detox.’

Promotional material also encourages possible applicants to ‘not let stereotypes hold you back’ from working with foreign criminals and illegal immigrants.

‘Our residents are vulnerable, and they deserve the same level of care as anyone else,’ a principal pharmacist at Heathrow IRC said. 

‘Many don’t have access to medical records or even speak English, so every day brings new challenges. But that’s what makes the job so rewarding. It requires emotional intelligence and empathy.’

The 40-hour-a-week position is in stark contrast to an NHS GP, who earns an average of £79,000 a year.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said that it is disgraceful that the ‘red carpet treatment’ is being given to potential foreign criminals.

‘No wonder illegal immigrants from all over Europe flood across the English Channel when the Government spends billions of pounds of our money to cosset them,’ he added.

‘We need to leave the ECHR, and then these illegal immigrants can be deported within a week of arrival.’

Detained migrants are given the same ‘range and quality’ of NHS treatment available to the public due to Home Office rules.

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘We do not directly fund these roles. We are making sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration, which will make Britain a less attractive destination for illegal migrants and allow us to remove and deport people more easily.

‘We have already returned nearly 50,000 people with no right to be here and delivered millions of pounds in savings across the immigration system.’

When greed takes over, won’t it make things worse for us British people who already have trouble getting appointments?

Our government just won’t admit that they have a problem, and it’s blindingly evident when you go to visit your doctor that most of the people in the waiting room don’t come from this country. It’s not the elderly that are clogging up the NHS, it’s migrants.

It’s the same within the NHS as well because seeing a white British doctor is extremely rare, along with the majority of the staff.

What is our government telling migrants? If you’re sick or have a severe illness, come to the UK, commit crimes and get all your ills treated, complimentary, but the lunacy continues, and the UK is the laughing stock of the world.

Meanwhile, Brits who actually pay into the system have very little prospect of seeing a GP – broken doesn’t even begin to describe what is going on, and if you think that Keir Starmer cares about you, think again.

There is nothing we owe these individuals. Despite having entered our nation illegally, they are treated better than individuals who have made long-term contributions to the NHS.
