I thank the witnesses for their presentations and practical recommendations.
I have a question. We had Liam Doran of the INMO here earlier and he foresaw that the issue of Brexit would accelerate the drive to bring more health care professionals, particularly nurses and midwives, to the UK because it is not supplying its own to meet its need. With our doctors leaving, it is a problem. Do they envision that there will be an increased number of doctors leaving or will Brexit, or the other factors, play into that? Also, although it is not quite strictly Brexit, how do we keep our doctors?
