answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government is in no doubt of the invaluable contribution that overseas health professionals make to the National Health Service and we will continue to welcome them in future. In a global context, as demand for more staff grows internationally, the United Kingdom’s current and historical dependence on recruitment of overseas staff is neither sustainable nor right as developing countries seek to retain their own much needed health care professionals. That is why we have announced historic increases in training places for doctors and nurses in England, to increase the domestic supply of NHS staff, reduce migration to sustainable levels and to ensure an ethical role in the growing international labour market for health professionals.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 03/05/2018 14:54:50 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
