Subject: RE: Osborne wrong: UK immigration needed
Ok. Once more.

There is a moral issue in attracting overseas professionals where poorer countries than ours have invested in their training. What the flying fuck that has to do with liberalism is beyond me.

There is a proud tradition in the medical schools of providing training for those who then return to practice in their own country. The visas are tight and this happens, regardless of what you read. You can't go underground and retain your GMC number. We are paid for training them and our hospitals get good junior doctors work out of them. In England, over 20% of junior doctors in hospitals will practice abroad.   We in return need specific speciality doctors that have not come through the system yet, hence attracting overseas candidates.

The worst dilemma out of interest is the Cuba South Africa Europe triangle.   Cuba have an excellent medical school. They can ill afford to run it but they do. Due to treaties it is easy for a Cuban doctor to work in South Africa for more money and a better life. There are vacancies because many South African doctors come to The UK and Germany. ...

The Indian subcontinent has about parity. People crossing between The UK and back is little different in percentages to those crossing between hospital trusts in a region of The UK.

Regarding rebuilding The UK. We need to be competitive in the world market to be able to afford to. Circular argument. ..
