The amount of EU workers leaving the UK's public sector increased 15% between 2016 and 2017, according to data from Best for Britain. The survey of 82 hospital trusts,116 universities and other public bodies showed the rate of EU nationals leaving UK hospitals rose 22% on average, while universities saw a 10% upturn. In total, there were more than 650,000 people who left their jobs in England last year because they could not find work after Brexit, compared with just over 51,000 in 2016. I personally know colleagues who have been let down by the government’s actions and have been forced to leave despite having contributed so much over the years.” Estimated figures suggest that the number of EU workers leaving in 2018 will fall back to just below 2016 levels.
