Ok. Damn and double damn. This love affair with Bridge. ... it will end in tears I know.

In the meantime.

The NHS goes from not enough to training too many clinicians. But to secure a safe effective service, the visa issues in getting doctors is excruciating. Those from countries with a similar standard to us in training, Indian sub continent, USA etc we have issues getting them in under immigration criteria yet those from Eastern Europe where professional regulators have problems with levels of training, wr have to accept their qualifications.

Perhaps the right wing newspapers who are bleating today at the state of health care should make a link to their usual bleating about immigration.

We need specialists in many areas, we can, believe it or not afford them but Home Office stand in the way.

Foreign doctors and nurses in this country pay shed loads of tax and support local economies. Interesting. ....
