"One solid figure is that 27 per cent of health professionals in the UK were born abroad, suggesting that the NHS at least benefits from immigration"

The majority of these come from countries much poorer than us.
Countries with much higher levels of disease and infant mortality, and much lower life expectancy.
Can it be right for a rich country like ours to entice away their desperately needed doctors, nurses and technicians just to spare ourselves the cost of training, and paying competitive salaries.
That is a throwback to a racist, colonialist, exploitative past.
It shames us.
