I am writing regarding Healthwatch Oxfordshire’s survey highlighting Asian women’s difficulties having private visits to GPs (September 26).
Surely it is up to them to learn the language and culture of the country they’ve chosen to live in and raise their family?
It is not for the overstretched NHS and GPs to provide expensive interpreters. Cannot their communities have classes for women to learn the English language and culture? Their children of schools age could help them too.
Perhaps then it would help everyone, as it would enable them to integrate more easily into the area in which they live.
