""Once again, facts and common sense (by Keith), versus, ideology byeveryone else!

The point made by Keith regarding the drain on poorer countries health capabilities, falls on deaf ears.....so much for "liberal" egalitarianism.
Is it a case of we're all right Jack?.....or is it less expensive to bring medical staff from overseas than train our own?""

There is NO press gang trawling through those countries, knocking doctors and nurses on the head, and dragging them aboard a boat for Blighty.

They come for one reason, they want to! And we let them come for one reason, we need them!

There just aren't enough home grown doctors to go round, and there are NO press gangs forcing people into a career which, they have been told time and again, will involve years of working soul destroying shifts for peanuts, and more years before enough consultants retire for them to progress.

Also, it comes as somewhat of a surprise hearing that Keith and you care one jot for the problems of other countries, unless of course it affords a point scoring opportunity.
