The UK's next government needs to ensure health and social care providers can recruit from across the globe after Brexit, the health select committee has said. Meanwhile, Niall Dickson, CEO of the NHS Confederation and a member of the Cavendish Coalition – a coalition of health and social care organisations, said: "We rely on staff from Europe, who make a fantastic contribution to health and care services throughout the UK – indeed, we could not manage without them. A report by MPs on the Commons public accounts committee, which is examining how Brexit will affect health, said that if Britain leaves the EU without a deal in March 2019 it would be "particularly difficult" The report was welcomed by healthcare recruiters such as Jonathan Wadsworth, of CHA Recruitment, who warned that any restrictions of the right to work of EU nationals "would bring the care system to its knees".
