It's a puzzler this one, I guess it'll end up having the same impact as the low pay for ambulance drivers thing - lack of ambulance drivers means agency staff, who cost many times what directly employed staff would, therefore the low pay leads to a massive overspend in order to continue to provide the service.
However, not sure where we'll get the qualified agency staff from if we've just sent them all to "elsewhere", maybe the companies who provide agency staff will fly staff in from India for the contract period, said contract to run for one day less than the maximum stay allotted to sub-35K staff, that way some Tory donor can make loads of cash in agency fees, and handily never has to deal with the niceties of UK employment law.
