Ash Sarkar: “Some patients will feel more comfortable speaking in their native language.” Reform MP Rupert Lowe: "I don't care, they should speak English.” Every year, translation services across the NHS cost £100 million. In other countries, you pay for your own translator.

It's quite simple. Speak English, bring a translator, use tech or pay for your own translation costs. The British taxpayer should NOT be funding NHS translation/interpretation.

If I got ill abroad I wouldn't expect free translation services. It's my personal responsibility. The left wants to baby everybody all of the time.

I’d feel more comfortable if the BBC never booked her again.

£100m for something that you can google. Make it make sense NHS

Free translation app on any smart phone. Done, saved £100 million

Exactly what Rupert said. Everyone should be speaking English and if you can’t then find someone who can translate for you and bloody learn the language. Sick of all this nonsense.

Rupert Lowe is absolutely right on this. Far left Sarkar is wrong ! When in Rome do as the Romans do applies !!

Why is it the taxpayers job to provide everyone with everything they want, what happened to individual responsibility?

I'm sure you can get apps on your phone that translate.

It’s true. My mum has been in Spain for 18 years. She to take a translator with her when she has an appointment.
