Britain will not stop hiring doctors from the EU

British hospitals will not stop recruiting doctors and nurses from other EU countries until the new migration policy has been developed, released the UK Health Minister Jeremy Hunt.

He said that in the British government they agree that the country needs “Brexit, which works for the business and the health system. The health system needs doctors and nurses from all over Europe and will continue to do so once we leave the EU”, told Jeremy Hunt. He added that all ministers were united to the idea of ​​Brexit for the benefit of the business.

Meanwhile, however, Minister of Trade, Liam Fox, commented a day ago that there is no consensus in the cabinet whether the free movement of people between the EU and the UK during the transitional period will be maintained.

At the beginning of the year, analysts pointed out that Europeans working in the UK health system are 130,000. In some areas, leaving EU professionals will be a serious problem – 25% of cardiac surgeons, 18% Neurosurgeons and 16% of child surgeons.

Experts have already warned that the system will simply not function normally without European specialists.
