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.
