Really?

I think people who have a more thoughtful and balanced viewpoint would disagree. If those groups of people (black and asians) are the most at risk then it's good sense to test them for free. You see it could (if they take up the offer) save money in the long run.

My Mexican Grandmother and her Nicuraguan bit of fluff are gutted they are missing out on this.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Taking a hypothetical case, if people living close to heavy industrial plants were considered more likely to develop asthma and therefore offered screening over and above the rest of the population what would be wrong with that?

Extra screening for those most at risk of any medical condition seems eminently sensible to me.

Not sure I'd wanted my face plastered all over the evening post because I'm complaining about people getting free eye tests based on the colour of their skin.

So why are black and Asian people more likely to present themselves late for their sight problems then?

Isn't that racist in itself?

I was putting it up as an interesting article which would stimulate debate. I have been proved right.

I offered my personal viewpoint in response to yours.

Superb idea.. let the people who haven't paid into the system for generations get freebies.. f*ck it, let all the refugees in, and we'll pay for all their free treatment, while us minimum wage folk will do as we're told by the fascist authority.

When did the UK become a fascist entity?.. allowing certain races to prosper above others?

what happened to 'equality', 'racial discrimination' and 'human rights'...

I'm waiting until they decide to cage us up... ready for the Holocaust.

At present one in ten people from a black and minority ethnic background over the age of 65 will experience serious sight loss. The unfortunate truth is that they are more likely to present themselves late for help with their sight problem and are therefore more likely to use a service that could save their sight.

1000s of white people with a genetic lineage of sight problems have to pay for their treatment.

This is a Welsh Govt spokesperson an all.. f*ck me.

It quite clearly says that if you have a genetic reason for sight problems then it's free.

Perhaps you should take them up on the offer given that you obviously didn't see that bit.

Do you think the same when it comes to security screening at airports? What with everyone being the same and all that.

Or are you happy for racial profiling to be used in those instances?

I might complain that I don't get a prostate exam offered on the NHS what with us all being equal. It's disgusting that I don't...

Rights or wrongs of it, if they are getting tested too late, through their own fault or not, they are going to cause the NHS more of a problem in later life than they will if they are given a free £15 eye test.

I'd say the long term unemployed are more of a drain on resources than blacks or Asians anyway.
