Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord O'Shaughnessy (Conservative) on Tuesday, 12 December 2017.
NHS: EEA Doctors
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the number of doctors from European Economic Area states working in the United Kingdom who may be planning to leave the NHS after the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government value the contribution of all European Union staff working across the NHS and social care systems immensely. We have set out a clear pathway to permanent residency for these EU citizens. According to the latest NHS digital data, there are now more non-UK EU doctors working in the NHS than ever before, with almost 500 more since 30 June 2016.
