The biggest part of the NHS is care for the elderly and diabetics, the load isn't equal though society. So the demographics matter.
I don't know about the claim more migrants work in the NHS than use it but there could easily be an argument that they benefit it more than they take from it.
As an example the link you quoted shows EU migrants are more likely to be doctors than the native population. That's the kind of migration I would hope of us would want, especially since we need more doctors.

Ok but it seems a lot of them are Doctors.
