Overseas NHS doctors 'betrayed'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4928954.stm
JCWI statement in support of the overseas doctors’ march to the
Department of Health on Friday 21 April 11.30am
Overseas doctors in the UK are planning to march to the Department of
Health in protest at changes introduced with the points-based
immigration system earlier this year. The changes mean EEA nationals
will be given preference over non-EEA doctors in applying for vacancies.
These non-EEA doctors had been permitted to enter the UK before the
introduction of the points system and had been told that they could
apply for hospital vacancies in the UK. Up to 15,000 overseas doctors
may be affected by the rule changes.
Tauhid Pasha, Legal and Policy Director of the Joint Council for the
Welfare of Immigrants, said
“The treatment of non-EEA overseas doctors is disgraceful and defeats
the objectives of the new points-based immigration system. The
Government’s reasoning for the points-based system was to send a clear
message around the world that the UK values skilled migrants and to set
a fairer system for giving people the right to work in the UK based on
the skills that they can offer
“Yet here we have a whole group of highly skilled people already in the
UK who are left in limbo having been told that EEA applicants will be
given preference over them by the NHS hospital trusts. Many non-EEA
nationals will feel discriminated against and poorly treated,
particularly as overseas doctors from outside Europe have a tradition
of contributing to the provision of our hospital treatment which is as
old as the NHS itself.
“We support the overseas doctors in their call on the Department of
Health to review the application of the rules to non-EEA doctors already
in the UK to seek work and to consider making transitional arrangements
for this group. It should be remembered that many from developing
countries, relative to their earning potential at home, will have
incurred considerable expenses for sitting the tests to work as a
doctor in the UK and travelling here to apply for vacancies.”
For more information on the march please contact the co-ordinator Dr
Satheesh Mathew (consultant paediatrician) on 0797 1843316
