Allow all current migrant NHS workers indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
"Doctors, nurses and paramedics from all over the world are playing a leading role in the NHS’s efforts to tackle coronavirus and save lives.
We owe them a great deal of gratitude for all that they do. " Priti Patel
Apart from the moral obligation we have to show our gratitude to current NHS workers from other countries, we should recognise that the NHS is dependent on their contribution, even under normal circumstances. It also seems unlikely that the NHS could cope without them in the event of a recurrence of a pandemic similar to the current emergency.
