whats more important here ,money or your loved ones health ,how would we feel if we managed to avoid the screening process ,and lets say a year or two down the line your wife and a few of your family members were diagnosed with having tb ,in what ever form, i bet the first thing that comes in to your mind is ,i should have had my wife screened before she came here to the uk ,whats going to happen to her now and whats going to happen to the family members who now have it ,would you stop your children from being immnunised here in the uk or would that be ok as its free? personally if i was your philipino partner waiting to come here to the uk to be with you ,i would definetley now have second thoughts as its not her health and well being your conserned about its rather selfishly the amount of money your having to part with.
