NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens warned yesterday that 130,000 Europe-born doctors, nurses and care workers could quit if Britain leaves the EU.
Mr Stevens argued that any pressure on the health service from migration is outweighed by the benefits of EU membership, and warned workers could walk away in the wake of a Brexit because of uncertainty over work visas.
He added that an economic slump could further hit the NHS’s bank balance, after trusts revealed the biggest ever deficit in the history of the health service last week.
