Too little, too late IMO, we have let far too many people from other EU states, who don't work and scrounge on our benefit system, settle here, straining our NHS healthcare to breaking point.
Some folks obviously need reminding that NHS spending is determined by the government of the time, not what a referendum campaign decided to put on the side of a bus one summer day.

There's no way any migrants who're earning anything like the minimum/living wage are paying sufficient tax to be net economic contributors to UK PLC. Any public services they receive, including the NHS, are subsidised by the rest of us it's just a question of by how much.
