There's a fair amount of sense in that.

However, what's this constant refrain about the NHS falling down if it had less migrant workers?
Surely the NHS aren't offering sub living wages and I know a few students not working at the moment who'd love a job working there.

Is there a bias against British workers?

Our youth deserve a chance.....They will spend their money here not ship it out into their own country.

Are many of them trained doctors and nurses with some years' experience?..it is trained doctors and nurses from overseas that are keeping the NHS afloat while "our" doctors go off to better paid employment with better working conditions in places like Australia...

See this is where legislation should be brought in. Anyone who has done any training/apprenticeship on government funded programmes (In other words the poor ol taxpayer)shouldn't be allowed to jump ship as soon as they hae their qualifications. Depending on level of skillset there should be some sort of sliding scale to how long they stay in service, alternatively If they leave early or indeed wish to leave early they should pay back their training costs.

"Is there a bias against British workers". Yes, I think there is. Immigrants workers are constantly described as hard working, willing to do jobs that British workers will not, vibrant, etc. Whereas British workers are described as work-shy, benefit scroungers and generally feckless. It is in effect racism towards our own indigenous population.


Even using a 'foreign sounding' name on a job application results in less chance of an interview. It's a bit of a laugh to suggest there is a bias in favour of immigrants for jobs.

In many case, quite the opposite. Anyway, many state employers, like the NHS, remove from sight the names of applicants from those drawing up shortlists for interviews.

Maybe in your mind, but it seems that research in both the US and UK confirms that prejudice (class and racial) plays a role in selection candidates for interview (from Business, Economics, Psychology and Sociological research).

The NHS fills from foreign based agencies, some allege because its cheaper than training and using UK staff.

Doctors training is funded by people attending medical school, not hospitals, they then work through a residency and specialist training on the job. Similarly most Nursing works on a similar basis, except for those trusts that offer apprenticeship schemes.

You have to have a degree in pre-registration nursing apparently to become a Nurse. At best you'll be on an apprentice scheme (meaning you'll work half the time or more as a cheap nurse).

If that is true, and is true of employers that happened to be from an ethnic minority, doesn't it just show that people prefer to associate with people of their own race, language, culture and religion? It is the fundamental problem with multi-culturalism, but of course the new left/libs just pretend it is a wonderful rainbow melting pot.

Perhaps it is because the NHS is ultra sensitive to political correctness and is scared shi**less of being perceives as 'institutionally racist' - that wonderful (and largely meaningless) scatter-gun, derogatory generalisation.

You live in a society of different races. Maybe there are whiter, more christian countries you can go to, though of course by your own logic you wouldn't really belong there so would be fine with being treated as a second class citizen.

Pay back training costs? You obviously missed out on the fact that those training to be doctors, nurses teachers etc are saddled with tuition fees.
