"The private school pupils refused NHS care show we're becoming a People's Republic by stealth - ruled by blank-eyed bureaucrats".

MailOnline 12 June 2025

If these incidents had featured black, gay or disabled children then they would have represented a criminal offence.

But this example of discrimination by the NHS (in nearby Kingston I believe) purely because of someone's income and how they choose to spend it is deemed perfectly acceptable.

"Last weekend The Mail on Sunday reported a deeply disturbing fact. An NHS bureaucrat had refused therapy to a young boy, saying, ‘We are unable to see this child as we do not provide a service to school-age children who attend an independent school. We are only commissioned to provide a service to the mainstream schools.’

The refusal came after the eight-year-old’s mother was asked to fill in a form which inquired innocently: ‘Where does your child go to school?’ She was in little doubt she had come up against hard dogma, remarking, ‘It feels like an ideological battle is going on.’

This is not a unique case. The mother of an autistic girl in Somerset recently complained that her daughter had been denied access to NHS mental health services, and was told, icily, ‘If you can afford the school fees, you should pay privately. If you had kept your child at the local authority primary school, she would have been supported.’

Last month it emerged that young cancer patients from private schools had to pay £115 an hour for tutoring at an Edinburgh hospital, while it is provided free to state school pupils by the Labour-run city council.

Private school parents were once again sniffily told they had ‘effectively opted out of state funded education and supports’.

Absolutely appalling but the NHS staff will of course get off scot-free.

These people discriminated against had paid twice for the NHS and state education.

Just like communist Russia.
