Stop passport checks on pregnant NHS patients

Antenatal wards already require a form with proof of eligibility but these cannot always be done fully. The proposals would require checks to be stricter and could, in the view of multiple critics and medical staff, lead to higher risk to patient health. These proposals give no assurance that patients would have access to care regardless of immigration status, as is current government policy and law. Focus on "health tourism" is a racist smokescreen for the Conservatives' destruction of the NHS.
