HEALTH chiefs will spend NHS money flying Midland patients to India for treatment under shock plans to cut waiting lists.
The scheme, which has already been discussed by the Indian Health Minister and senior Government officials, could be trialed in either Birmingham or Leicester.
One senior British doctor told the Sunday Mercury that it was "common sense" to send NHS patients to the sub-continent for surgery.
But Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley criticised the move, saying: "I despair at the Government's failure to deal with Britain's inability to deliver the best healthcare in the world."
- APPARENTLY, THE ROAD TO SERFDOM GOES FROM THE UK TO INDIA.
- IF IT DOESN'T WORK THERE - WHERE THEY'VE BEEN AT IT FOR 60 YEARS, (THE NHS IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE UK) - THEN IS CANNOT WORK HERE.
