The experts are clear: a vote to leave the EU is serious threat to our NHS - Heidi Alexander
Heidi Alexander MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, commenting on the NHS Confederation’s warnings about the cost of Brexit to the NHS, said:
“The experts are clear: a vote to leave the European Union is serious threat to our National Health Service.
“The warnings of the NHS Confederation and others cannot be ignored. If we leave the European Union, the chances are the economy suffers a serious blow, tax revenue falls and there will be less money to spend on a whole range of public services, including the NHS.
“Tens of thousands of staff from EU countries work in our hospitals and when we have massive staffing shortages, which in some places are leading to the closure of services, we can’t afford to lose trained nurses and doctors.
“That is why, in the final days of this campaign, we will be urging voters to back remain on the 23 June to help protect our NHS.”
