^^ so true, I saw the actual cost of some basic treatment in the NHS and i just double my likeness for this NHS model!!

not to talk of US Healthcare system *pukes* first world country?

An NHS bed would cost you £600 per night. That is just a night stay, imagine an admission in HDU, ITU etc etc..... Cost of A & E admission is about £124, a trip by ambulance is £200.00........ Now imagine all this costs combined with all the medical interventions and professionalism ......

Now get admitted for 3 weeks, you would easily see how the cost mounts up........ But now imagine not paying a dime at the point of use ?

Absolutely agree. That is one of the great advantages of the UK over US. Having access to everything without paying anything.

It depends on your employer if they offer it then you can save £55 per week of your salary from the tax man. Go for it if your employer offers it .

Does NHS cover childbirth cost and postnatal care?

How feasible is if for a woman to care for 2 children all alone in the UK? I'll be going to Coleraine in Northern Ireland

Thank you in anticipation as I await your prompt responses and guidance

They have no advanced equipment to detect if one is watching TV or not. It was a con invented to scare people into paying up. They use their database of over 31 million addresses to check which ones do not have a licence and that is where the fun of them sending you letters start.

If you have ever received any form of letter from TV Licensing, you would notice that it follows a set pattern:
- Your address has no Licence registered to it
- We will be visiting you
- We have opened an investigation and will call at your address soon.. After this stage, they go back to the 1st letter and the cycle will go on.

Rule of thumb is to never allow them gain entrance into your house, do not reply their letters or call them for any reason at all. If you inadvertently open the door and it is one of their officers, DO NOT let them in no matter how polite the person(s) is(are). Do NOT give them your name either. They have no power to arrest neither do they have any power to forcibly enter your home.

After all said though, to pay TV Licence that goes into the coffers of BBC or not is a decision only you can make.

You pretty much nailed it. I will pay TV license if the money goes to all TV stations in the U.K and not just BBC alone even if you don't watch BBC. If BBC need money to pay their over hyped stars they should go commercial.

Good day friends, pls could anyone let me in on life in North West and Yorkshire & The Humber, especially as it relates to how hospitable they are, how they treat foreigners and whatever else is necessary to make an informed decision between both regions.
Thanks much.

Which city in Yorkshire?

North Yorkshire and Lancaster in NW

Sorry you are not being specific, north Yorkshire is not a city, pretty much a county.

I don't much about Lancaster, i know a lot about Yorkshire which is why i'm asking you about city or town in Yorkshire you want to live in.

Funny, people are not paying BBC license and complaining the money is going to overhyped celebrities...But, you no dey pay anything yet now! So how is Chris Evans chopping your money?

Well, I'm not be soo conversant with the geography of Yorkshire, but the much info I got is that the location isn't too distant from NYorkshire.
Could you pls let me know wosup about Yorkshire. At least generally.

You seems to be more concerned about TV license than BBC, you can volunteer to pay for those who are not paying.

I pay my council tax, NL, employment tax and you want me to pay TV license to BBC even when i don't watch any live program from BBC?

Nice one.

Good day everyone and happy weekend[b][/b]
Please I need your candid advice on this issue.
I'm a tier 2 applicant awaiting decision. I'm married with a son though my husband is not relocating with us. I will go alone and bring my child over when I'm fully settled.
My problem now is I got to know I was pregnant when I went for TB test. I had secondary infertility for about two years.
My questions now are
1. My recruitment agency is aware of the pregnancy through the TB test report, am I expected to inform my employer? If yes, how soon?
2. Does NHS cover childbirth cost and postnatal care?
3. I'm hoping to resume for work in the early weeks of September. I'm due to deliver around March next year. How soon can I invite my mum over?
4. How feasible is if for a woman to care for 2 children all alone in the UK? I'll be going to Coleraine in Northern Ireland

Thank you in anticipation as I await your prompt responses and guidance

1. I believe your recruitment agency should do that for you but confirm from them as well to be on the safe side and check your contract.

2. Yes it covers all and you are entitled to dental care too whilst pregnant.

3. You can invite your mum over once you are settled in and all. No hard or fast rule to this.

4. It is doable but tough if you are only one as a new migrant and family support is key but if your mum will be coming over, you should be fine.

All the best

Yorkshire is a big county with only one well popular city..Leeds. Leeds is like London of Yorkshire and more developed than other cities around.

Second to Leeds is Bradford which is about 20mins away by train and 45mins by bus, Bradford used to be an industrial city mainly textile and museums and affordable to live though more populated by Asians and recently Eastern Europeans.

Then you have Hull, Hull is arguably the poorest city but with a very good university and an average football club.

Then you have cities like Wakefield, Doncaster, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Sheffield is developed as well with one very good university and another not-so-good university and two football clubs.

North Yorkshire is more quiet with one of the best universities located in York and in North Yorkshire you have a lot of tourist attractions like National park, Yorkshire dales etc


If you are family oriented then North Yorkshire is for you else head to Leeds and Leeds is just 45mins away from Manchester which is a mega city

Much appreciated @justwise
