Read our privacy policy The NHS should slash numbers of foreign doctors and hire British ones in their place when the UK leaves the EU, Jeremy Hunt has said. But the British Medical Association has argued the Health Secretary's controversial new junior doctors’ contract – due te be imposed in the coming days – will only drive more British-trained NHS staff away. I think it’s a debate we need to have.” Around 55,000 NHS staff are citizens of other EU countries – amounting to 4.6 per cent of the overall workforce – and NHS chiefs have repeatedly warned that staff from the EU are desperately needed to avoid the collapse of the service. Polish NHS worker racially abused by passers-by during an interview BMA leader Ellen McCourt warned in September that the morale of NHS staff was at “rock bottom” and said Mr Hunt’s new junior doctors contract risked an exodus of UK-trained medics to other countries.
