Ah gotcha.
Yes of course it is real, the government thinks you can just open a tap of NHS workers but it doesn't work like that. If work is already tight then "oh it is just a few % we don't need them" doesn't add up! And nurses etc. are in short supply everywhere in the EU too, why come here and then just get crap from the government (the HO is a mess).
And then nurses from some countries end up being tied to special contracts and they must pay a fee if they change their job before the contract is up.
It is really heart breaking and the NHS in Northern Ireland is such a mess too, care work is also affected by Brexit with lower paid EU workers often leaving and now you cannot come in on a low salary.
BTW I met a whole load of Indian nurses when I went to a course in Belfast, hope they will do well and be happy here.

I was talking more about the link between staff shortages and Brexit. My wife is a nurse and has said it is a real thing but the mainstream TV channels do not report it.
