"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sir Keir Starmer has said that the public will never need a digital ID to access a hospital, but admitted that the full cost of the new scheme is still not known. The prime minister reiterated on Thursday that digital IDs will only be mandatory when it comes to the right to work. The scheme was first announced last month, and has been highlighted as a way to prove a person has the right to work in the UK."
"Asked whether a digital ID would be needed to access a hospital, Sir Keir told the BBC on Thursday: Absolutely not. Apart from the right to work and having a digital ID, it won't be mandatory, he said. You'll never need ID to get into a hospital or anything like that. However, he admitted officials are not clear on how much the scheme will cost overall."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, deploying journalists to report on developing stories and produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet provides free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism, investigations and documentary production. Sir Keir Starmer stated the public will never need a digital ID to access hospitals and that digital IDs will be mandatory only to prove the right to work. The scheme was announced to help verify work rights and reduce illegal migration, but officials have not yet determined the full cost and are conducting a consultation.
