Re: Crisis in the NHS

An issue I hope David Davis is engaged on

Brexit ‘can help solve nursing shortage’
Ireland should poach European Union doctors and nurses working in the UK who are worried about Brexit, Fianna Fáil has said.
The HSE has had a chronic staff shortage in recent years and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) estimates there are around 3,500 fewer nurses now than in 2009.
Billy Kelleher, the Fianna Fáil health spokesman, said that the HSE should target medical professionals from EU countries that may have to relocate as a result of Britain leaving the union. “The fact of the matter is clear: the HSE has a severe shortage of doctors and nurses working in our hospitals and in our communities,” he said.
“There are approximately 135,000 EU nationals working in the UK’s NHS. While not everyone would consider moving to Ireland, there are potentially enough doctors and nurses willing to move that could have a dramatic impact on our capacity shortages.
“Many of these professionals may not have the right to stay working there post-Brexit, and there may be some who choose not to stay working in a non-EU country. For those who do not want to return to their home countries, Ireland is an ideal alternative.”
