Given the appellant's long‑term assistance that enabled a five‑plus year overstay and the resultant misuse and burdening of public medical services (including an unbooked delivery in an emergency department), the nine‑month starting point adopted by the sentencing judge was appropriate; a one‑third reduction for the guilty plea produced a six‑month term which was not manifestly excessive and was necessary for deterrence; the appeal against sentence is dismissed.
