Closed Make it a criminal offence to use NHS taxpayer funding to pay for the translating of NHS documents from English into any other language.

Closed on

We are the only group of taxpayers on the planet who are expected to pay to have our official documents translated into languages for the convenience of foreigners who can't be bothered to learn our language. This principle does not apply ANYWHERE else on the planet. English speakers in foreign countries are required to pay, themselves, if they require documents in the local language to be translated into English. WE NEED TO STOP PAYING FOR THIS.
