Refusing qualified doctors from non-EU countries is mad.

Not just doctors. We have a neighbour from India who's a qualified dentist. So he's got a job in a convenience store while he goes through a long process which he hopes will end up allowing to work as a dentist.

After Brexit the same kind of thing will no doubt be happening to people from EU countries.

And the extra pressure being imposed on health workers by the shortages is meaning more and more professionals are giving up, heading off to places like Australia - or in the case of people at the lower end of the wage scale, going off to jobs with less pressure and more money, such as supermarkets.
