Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions he has had with his counterparts in the Home Office and the Department for Exiting the European Union on ensuring job security for EU nationals employed in NHS England.

The Prime Minister has made it clear that she wishes for European Union citizens, including those working in NHS England, to remain in the United Kingdom and that such a thing would only not be possible if British citizens’ rights in European member states were not protected in return. My Rt. hon. Friends the Secretary of State for Health, Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU are working together to achieve that outcome.
