The NHS efforts are getting affected due to bureaucratic delays in staff recruitment, from outside European Union.

When voters were asked, as to which 2 issues are more crucial to them, the NHS almost invariable, came near to the top of their priorities.

In election, long run, the politicians across spectrum do use prepared carefully, sound biters about topics such as promising borders controlled and efficient NHS.

However we find these two particular objectives, are not always exclusive mutually and there might be clash of interest.

The NHS have now appealed to add nurses in the list of occupation  officially, as there is shortage, which does make it much easier for citizens belonging to non-EU inorder to apply for the above positions in United Kingdom.

Presently, nearing to 10 NHS trusts major, have written to Theresa May, Home Secretary.

They have highlighted as to how recruitment from outside the EEA(European Economic Area) is crucial. And the health bosses do claim bureaucracy, such as delays in paperwork processing would prevent hospital trust from getting the staff they require.

Their letter added that, 3 month delays which has been experienced  presently does have direct impact on the delivery of service  and also on financial planning for these particular organizations as NHS makes preparation as demand would increase.

When trust does recruit nurses Europe beyond, we tend to work within varied guidelines for visas which cover the skilled migrants from EU outside.

Chief Executive, Jan Sensier at health champion independent, Healthwatch Staffordshire added that foreign nurses are very crucial for running NHS. The Healthwatch Staffordshire is very supportive of the sentiment which have expressed in letter.

Jan added that, there are shortage of nurses at most hospitals and they are finding difficulty to recruit.

Numerous efforts have been made to train more number of nurses in the nation and it takes about to 3 to 4 years to train them.

The European Union,  finite pool and numerous hospital trusts tend to fish from same pool. It is essential to go beyond, inorder to achieve the staff level required.

She has explained as how Royal stoke has had varied problems getting the non-EU nurses into the nation. She added, that they had trained theatre nurses in nation such as Philippines and they have struggled to get into the nation. It is very crucial that trust are able to get staff they require.

The local MPs are also supporting to bring nurses belonging to foreign nation in order to help NHS.

These particular nurses do play crucial role in supporting the health service. These individuals having skills which we desperately need and to turn them away at a period , where the  waiting times are on peak is outrageous.

Presently, there arises no doubt about qualified nurses shortage and lack the training opportunities in UK, which means that we would benefit hugely from the foreign nurses being prepared t visit nation for work.
