Apparently the queues are very long to register,not with just UK citizens. As I have said before my husbands existing illness diagnosed in the UK has been recognised here. All he had to do was pay a doctor at the hospital to do the tests needed to confirm his illness . The doctor then sent a report to Ankara. They stamped the report and added his illness to his Bagkur/SSK on they`re computer system which is accessed by pharmacies and hospitals, dentists and opticians. We got a copy of the report for our files and produce this report ,if requested, when we get a prescription filled for his medication.The medication is then free apart from asprin and vitamins which cost very little.

cinders that simply is not true, I for one was reading this law at least a year ago in relation to some charity work being paid for by a local charity. Act 5510.
 The Consulate website, whilst stating for some time about the verbal discussion, additionaly stated that the current law had NOT been changed and would need to be if Dec 2012 were to come into effect.

I think Quackers you are fortunate - as the law states clearly Foreign citizens pre-existing chronic illness will NOT be covered under UHI.

Regarding Highlanders comments. Why not look at Letoonia and Esnaf Accounts and see who has contributed the most money to their annual turnover, foreigner or turkish national? have you ever heard of private enterprise?

Again, give the TOP MAN some hassle (very appropriate)... The e-mail address for the BRITISH AMBASSADOR, David Reddaway in Ankara: david.reddaway@fco.gov.uk. This is where the buck stops, get your e-mails going...

Can you show me where this information is available?

Also please can you put your correct name into your profile. What you have is not acceptable. Thanks.

Please don't tell me to "wake up" - you suggested we looked at figures that we are unable to. Your cannot back up your claim.

Can you tell me if it is the case that Esnaf could be run on solely a "pay as you go basis"

With a large number of new members joining in the last few days - presumably due to the issue in this topic - can I remind everyone that this is a discussion forum, not a place for aggression. We are all here to try and make sense of things and to help others where we can. Please help where you can and if you can't post calmly and respectfully, we'll see that you won't be able to post at all. Thanks.
