NHS needs foreign Doctors

The NHS is so short of doctors that it would stop running if it didn't bring in doctors from abroad. The British Medical Association said last year that 70% of accident and emergency departments across the country were short of doctors.
Many left A&E departments to become General Practitioners - where there's also a shortfall.
Some 14,736 new doctors appeared on the medical register last year, according to the General Medical Council (GMC). Of these, 10,005 came from other countries.
Bringing in skills from abroad is proving cheaper than training new doctors, as each one costs an estimated £200,000.
And with fewer than 8,000 new medical students in Britain last year, more are needed to fill the gaps.
According to the GMC's figures, the majority of new doctors registering in Britain came from India - a total of 3,644.
Pakistan accounted for nearly 1,000 new doctors.
But there are also large numbers from other European countries, for example, 771 came from Germany.
