More claptrap. The NHS has employed MORE EU doctors and nurses.
You just can’t stop putting false and wrong information because it suits your anti-brexit narrative.
Here are the actual facts:
Quote:
Overall NHS staff levels have grown more than twice as fast as UK population growth Between Dec 2013 and April 2017, total NHS England staff levels increased by 74,676 (+6.72%), taking the NHS workforce of 1.18 million.
These are net figures, new starters minus leavers (roughly like the entire working-age population of Oxford putting on an NHS lanyard).
During this period the UK population grew by roughly 2.4% (64.1m to 65.6m), and those aged 60+ grew 4.53% (12.06m to 12.61m) – population figures from the ONS.
This is a useful context when evaluating any staff shortages.
There are more EU nationals working in the NHS than ever before As of 30 June 2017, there are 61,891 EU nationals in the NHS, or 5.2% of the workforce.
This is a huge 55.4% increase in the last 3.5 years – +22,084, up from 39,807 in Dec 2013 – and EU nationals have risen 8 times faster than other NHS staff. EU nationals have increased since the Brexit vote As of 30 June 2016, EU nationals were 58,698 or 5% of the NHS workforce.
So exactly one year after the referendum vote (after which a hate crime wave was allegedly unleashed) there are 3,193 more EU nationals working in the NHS.
These increases are even higher if you choose the beginning of the referendum campaign as a starting point. It is true that the growth rate in EU nationals has slowed down, but this can be explained by many factors as well as Brexit, particularly in the case of EU nurses.
