The British government has decided to ban asylum seekers from using taxis for medical appointments, with the new restrictions coming into effect from February.
According to media reports, investigations revealed that asylum seekers were using taxis for long-distance travel, causing heavy expenses for the Home Office. In one case, an asylum seeker travelled 250 miles by taxi to attend a doctor’s appointment, costing the Home Office £600.
The new policy aims to reduce such expenses and encourage the use of local medical services instead of long-distance travel.
