  • I mean, what he literally said is pretty close to that, yep:

    What I would like to see is the numbers go down in some areas. I think we're recruiting too many people from overseas into, for example, the health service.

  • That's only a quarter of what he said. You've taken once sentence and ignored the context.

    Did he say:

    A) We're employing too many migrants in the NHS
    B) We aren't training enough doctors and nurses in the UK and importing talent from overseas does not solve that problem.

    He's absolutely right. When you're bringing in more than a third of your doctors from overseas instead of training up people who were born and raised here, that points to a problem where the NHS is not an attractive place to work. It's not an anti-immigration point. It's not even a pro-native point. It's literally saying that we need to make the NHS a place where people WANT to work.
