Getting a Brexit deal that works for the NHS
Nuffield Trust - This briefing finds that the NHS could face costs of almost half a billion pounds if retired British people living in other EU countries decide to return to UK in the event of their healthcare being withdrawn after Brexit. Additionally, this figure could be substantially higher if the NHS has to pay to replace staff if EU migration is reduced, or if it faces a rise in the cost of medicines. King's Fund.
