Britain to regulate recruitment of overseas nurses
|
|
The British government has announced a crackdown on hospitals and care homes poaching nurses from developing countries such as India and the Philippines.
The move was announced following pressure from the nursing unions. Health Minister John Hutton said he would close a loophole that allowed the National Health Service (NHS) hospitals to evade controls by recruiting overseas nurses and therapists on temporary contracts.
He has also secured agreement from leading private hospitals, homes and recruitment agencies to stop active recruitment in South Africa and other developing countries with shortages of medical staff.
