OT: Anybody remember?

Other than the 400+ a day landing at Dover ( probably not covid jabbed) the net migration figure for 2020 was 313000

The population of Rotherham is approx 265000

At a time our NHS is under severe pressure plus many other problems caused by overcrowding

20.1% of GPs in England qualified abroad
13.3% of the entire NHS workforce have a non British nationality

100,000 shortfall in NHS staff numbers that we actually need.

Thank god for migration giving us those numbers as the NHS you speak of would be in an even worse position.

Migration is such a broad term. Lies, dammed lies and statistics.

Afghan doctors and nurses?

Doctors and nurses coming across the channel in dinghies?

You must think people are stupid.

The NHS is a joke anyway, worst cancer outcomes in Western Europe, can't even get through to GP surgeries to get a call back from a doctor in three weeks time, should have been replaced with a European style insurance system decades ago.

Regarding OP's point, nothing will change as long as people keep voting for Tories/ Labour/ Lib Dems/ SNP.

Completely idiotic. If you bother to examine the facts almost all foreign NHS staff not born in the UK applied from abroad either for the post or to attend a degree in medicine or a related field. So far as I am aware not a single doctor currently working in the NHS floated in on a boat, sneaked in in a lorry or arrived under asylum provisions.
