Talking about Snips.
I’ve been reasoning that thing ohhh.
Can I get it on the NHS?
Is it very expensive?

But I would like to freeze some of my tadpoles before the snip (just in case). Anyone knows how expensive (or cheap) it is to freeze my sperm, please?
Even our PM joined the sniPPing conversation grin

I don’t want to bring in more Walking People into the world. If you add the fact that I don’t know what is a woman, then you understand why SNIP-ping is very important

Please who can help with the link or information on how to get brp for new child born in the UK.

The issue is that we wanted to get her a Nigeria passport but told she doesn't need it if we won't take her out of the UK but we can get brb for her.

I checked on ukvi website but couldn't find it.
I would appreciate anyone that can help with the link to get brp for new born baby in the UK or any information regarding it.

Many thanks in advance.

Hahahaha, you just made my day. But they are not walking people. You said those with the broadest shoulders will carry the burden. I'm sure you have very broad shoulders.

You want to join the SNiP gang? we want to leave the union

I think its the same process for applying for any other child dependant within the UK, see here: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/your-partner-and-children

You need to apply within the first 3 months of the child's birth in order to ensure that they can continue to access healthcare where required.

Below is the link to the online application form for a dependant visa. Note that you will need the baby's passport/ travel document or an explanation of why there is no passport available.

I like the phrase measurable metric in your last paragraph.

That something appears odd to you does not mean its wrong- again you need to look at the system and outcomes.
Context is what youre struggling with- e.g there are significant security issues in the UK but complaining about it does not mean they're experiencing anything close to what we see in 9ja.
It reminds me on 2 previous discussions I've had on NL- first was someone describing how expensive food is in the U.S cos he converted the price of Coke in usd into naira- I had to go to town to make him see that food is at least 10x more expensive in 9ja. Next was same person mocking the UK cos they were suffering high inflation and people were complaining online. I started by asking him when last inflation in 9ja was as low as 8%.I'm trying not to go down on this but lets see. In your words, tell me one respectable measurable metric where health outcomes in Nigeria superceed the UK (or on a good trajectory to do soon)?
None whatsoever. But I believe the lady in the UK is stunned by the one-time per consultation she received even when she had other medical issues. Also, the scarcity of dentists at a point last year or earlier this year got be befuddled.

Your inflationary explanation is excellent.

If madam president had won, I would have celebrated her too. That would’ve been 1 more story for me to tell my daughter.
Unfortunately, it appears the Trump guy only beats women, but not men (Hilary in 2016 & Kamala in 2024). The conspiracy theorist in me thinks even the (probably senile) ‘sleepy joe’ at the head of the ticket would’ve beaten the Donald.

Any way, we Move.

Progressives support birth control. wink Go ahead and get the snip, missjekyll will support you, so you don't go randomly impregnating one of the sisters fighting for social justice.

Not only does birth control liberate women, it also leads to a smaller pool of workers which should tend to push up wages. Under Corbyn, the Labour Party appeared to generally support Brexit, for instance and he was thought to be a closet Brexiteer.

NHS no longer undertakes cosmetic surgery...... 😁


It would cost you under £700..... And yes, those tadpoles could be frozen...... 😁😂

To freeze those tadpoles, is like buying Netflix subscriptions...... You would pay about £600 for the initial year, then about £200 per year gong forward...... 😊

Imagine freezing them for 6 years, the cost implications would build a small house in my village..... 😁
Hahahahaha why go through that stress? Well...

No chance, that is why they (democrats) insisted he step down. Easiest way for Kamala to be president if it was sure Joe would have beaten Donald.

Too late to buy Tesla now though the price may drop if Trump fails to give him a political office.

Was waiting for somebody to pick her up on this.
I only registered in the NHS to get my vaccines. My Doctor is back in Nigeria. I really should move but I haven't.

We pay for our parents checkups here. To the last penny. I did . At the Nuffield

Some people have no idea of our experiences apart from what they ve read in books. But they ll want to comment on those experiences. That they have no lived experience of.

Goodenoch:
https://www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/blogs/international-migrants-use-nhs-services-less-frequently-than-non-migrants

The stats support this:

"In our analysis we found, on average, health care utilisation among migrants to the UK is up to 40% lower than utilisation among the UK-born population. This was true for six out of seven health care services (inpatient, outpatient, primary care, physiotherapy, mental health services and dental care)."
It's a well known fact that healthcare utilisation among many black communities tends to be lower than the average.

It has come up at different times in history. Of late, alot of work has been done in raising awareness among black men and the risk of prostate cancer.

The NHS and Care is a different ball game as its virtually the major place where the clinical workforce demography is heavily tilted towards migrants and hardly a mirror of the general polpulace. Walk into any hospital of carehome in any county that is over 90% white British and the change is quite evident. The NHS has been kept in its current form largely down to immigration. Without that, it'd undoubtedly be more of a mess.

Hehe. Heard of a trust that built/bought a house for a patient. They couldn't house him and felt it was cheaper longterm to do that than to continue to house him on the ward.

While I manytimes cut her some slack for at least coming here to interract and learn from our views, her ignorance of our lived experience is manytimes evident. I sometimes curious on why she's here (with my tinfoil hat on).

Oddly, that's how populism works - blame visibly different folks for every societal ill and chorus how all issues can be solved by 'just' chucking them away. It's been a recurring decimal in many nations - one that has hardly worked. Take U.S for example- a nation that has of late done stupendously well and due to add more wealth over the next year that all of Europe put together. Yet the many average Americans believes the reason why they are not as rich as they want is not because of the social structure but cos of some immigrants crossing the border. Yes, they could secure their border but that would not adress the underlying inequality.

This is commonplace...... Wise investment, the trust would have an additional asset + avoid bedblockers...... 😁

Would only happen in extreme cases......

Bite me in what way? You've relayed your purely anecdotal view from your own locality. There are other anecdotal views and evidence from other localities and trusts that would paint a different picture to the one you're trying to claim of migrants never using the NHS.
Remember this? We are still waiting for the benefits of Brexit. I remember telling you how trust who set up desks to 'catch/bill illegal migrants' fared and why the idea was thrown out.

I can go on to list government initiatives in supporting migrant labour into the NHS. Till now, the government opted to get oversee nurses than pay bursaries to local students. A while back registered more international docs than local docs in a year, to paying 20k to encourage docs to work in certain locations, to paying visa fees of certain healthcare workers, to making exemptions both during covid and afterwards and making NHS workers exempt from the current salary tresholds. To currently allowing new GPs work for a period with an expired visa.

If migrants were responsible for long wait times, why then are localities with less migrants not having far less wait times?

The NHS and Care works thanks to migration not inspite of it. It's the reason you can get seen in the time it takes (and not longer). Same reason why there continues to be a significant overrepresentation of migrants in the NHS.
