Considering the population is 300,000 in the north, how many actually visit the southern hospitals a year? 100? Anybody got any figures to see what percentages are involved before we can make such uneducated hypocritical stupefying comments.

Bill the RoC should stop ALL payments to TCs who do not reside in the RoC period. This way we do not need anything else. You want to be a citizen of Cyprus live in the recognised state otherwise get someone else to pay for you.
It is as simole as that. This cuts out the resentment, dodgey dealings and will force some contributions.
I dont accpet my taxes to be squandered in this way, it should be a manifesto pledge by the next incoming president. That would secure my and many others votes. Simples really.

Well if there is a political will to stop this free-loading and let's see it as Health Tourism (which is the heart of the problem), the workaround will be found, one that at the same time preserves the relationship, sovereignty if you will, between the Republic and all its citizens.

... but don't think there is such a political will... unless you CYs in the Free Areas kick up more of a fuss.

What an ungrateful bunch you lot are. You should look at the TC's and see them as pound notes. All the aid offered to you by UN, EU and many more have the TC's in their calculations. The financial gain to the RoC far exceeds what it gives back to the TC's.

TC"s should be treated as valuable commodity and not as parasites. Imagine a product in your business with a 100% profit margin. This is what a TC is to the Cypriot economy.

Utter rubbish. The TCs are a burden which would be better resettled to Turkey if the British had their way!

What a nasty peice of work you are promoting ethnic cleansing - indeed you racist views verge on the Nazi. The chances are the so called Turkish Cyriots are as Cypriot as the so called Greek Cypriots, many of them being Cypriots who adopted the Moslem faith and Turkish language for the opportunities it then gave.

Take it up with YOUR Ministry of Defence since it was their suggestion towards a viable solution to the Cyprus problem. They called it resettling back to Turkey.

What proportion of the 40,000 surviving TCs in the occupied area, get sick regularly (with more than just a cold)?

The illegal settlers are stuck with your butchers and fake drugs.

I would say all 300,000 are sick, sick to death of your stupidity.

The question remains how many TCs actually visit the hospitals in the south? There must be some stats somewhere, just to see the magnitude. After all they are entitled to this treatment, the RoC is not racist to just treat TCs with no charge but not GCs.

Is there no costs listed somewhere in the Health department budget. Or is that cooked just like the rest of Cyprus history.

The 300,000 are sick for many reasons. And you, because you believe they are TCs. Why don't you start with facts - like how many actual TCs there are!

[Lordo]

So no facts then, what's new?

Exactly! Your figure of 300,000 is fiction.

- Or are you seriously telling us the RoC has to treat any of the 80 Million Turks who decide to illegally 'settle' here?

1 TC is too many, whats your point.

VP,

it's quite interesting to note that in this instance, despite what some citizens of the RoC think should happen, the safeguards that the TCs seek by and large already exist in RoC and EU law.

The RoC cannot deny medical care to any one individual RoC passport holder based on their ethnicity and this only serves to show that the safeguards the TCs seek are one of the many artificial barriers they put infront of any solution. This is because this is 2012 and not the 1950s/60s and they already exist.

I think that there's more chance of Turkey denying TCs medical treatment in the free areas as they may order your leaders to close off the crossings during the EU presidency.
