NHS Patients Let Down By Conservatives

Last July, 1,304 nurses from the EU joined the Nursing and Midwifery Council register, compared to 46 in April this year, a fall of 96%.

In May, research by the Royal College of Nursing found one in nine posts in England was vacant.

The union said it meant the NHS was 40,000 nurses short of what was needed.

All those people waiting for medical attention might reflect on the harm that even the threat of Brexit has done to the NHS.
