Brexit: Health Policy

Debate between Lord O'Shaughnessy and Lord Cunningham of Felling

Wednesday 6th December 2017 Lords Chamber

The noble Baroness and other noble Lords will be interested to know that, if you compare June 2016 to June 2017, there are more EU workers working in the NHS from one year to the next.

[Lord Cunningham of Felling (Lab)]
