Falling immigration could destroy the NHS

Falling immigration could destroy the NHS  Workforce gaps currently pose a major threat to the viability of our health services, as noted in a joint 2018 report by the King’s Fund, Nuffield Trust, and Health Foundation. One in 11 NHS clinical posts is currently unfilled, rising to one in eight nursing posts. The report estimates that, without concerted action, the current shortage of NHS staff employed by trusts in England—already around 100 000—will grow to an estimated 250 000 by 2030.
