Every time this MP speaks on healthcare, it’s the same pattern- blame immigrants! So let’s start with the basics. 1. No foreign nurse “barely speaking English” can work in the NHS. To even begin the process, you must pass IELTS/OET with some of the highest language standards in the world, sit the UK’s own CBT exam, verify your licence from your home country, and still pass the OSCE after arrival. These are your rules and we meet them. If after all that you still think immigrants “can’t speak English,” then the issue is not competence, it’s the bias in your mind. Raise the requirement to IELTS 8.5 if you like; people will still meet it, and you still won’t consider them “good enough” because the problem is not the score, it’s your perception. 2. You called foreign staff “potentially unqualified and incapable.” Based on what? Where is the data? Immigrants make up a massive percentage of the NHS workforce. If we were “incapable,” the outcomes, mortality rates, and safety records would show it but they don’t. What you have is not a fact, it's just a convenient political narrative. 3. You asked why the UK “relies on foreign labour,” The answer is simple - it is cheap labour. Every visa category requires a minimum salary of £ 41,000, except for the Health and Care visa, which is set at around £25k. For a registered professional with people’s lives in their hands, in this economy, that is exploitation, not generosity. British doctors are striking. British nurses are leaving. British student midwives are graduating into unemployment. And instead of addressing poor pay, unsafe staffing, and a system everyone is running away from, you turn immigrants into the scapegoats. 4. You also speak as if UK-trained staff are automatically superior. Let’s be honest. Even the three- or four-year nursing route or UK two-year fast-track nursing programmes, nurse associate routes, and the watered-down training pathways cannot be compared to the depth, rigour, and technical foundation of Nigerian nursing education. I can only speak for Nigeria because that’s the system I trained in. Five years of university-level nursing science, one year of internship, and one year of national service. Strong anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, community health, and clinical practice. Nigerians go through hell and high water to qualify. To have someone call such people “unqualified” is absolute nonsense! And this is exactly why your rhetoric is dangerous. You refuse to acknowledge how much immigrant nurses actually contribute. You refuse to admit the NHS would collapse without them. You refuse to face the fact that the real problem is your government starving the system of funding, good pay, and proper workforce planning. Instead, you attack the very people keeping your health service alive. The real issues are unsafe staffing, chronically underfunded hospitals, pay that cannot match the cost of living, outdated workforce planning, and policies that make healthcare unattractive to the very British workers you claim are being pushed aside. But instead of addressing any of that, you always attack the people who keep the system running. And yes, honourable MP, calling this out is addressing racism. When you imply an entire group of people is inherently less competent or less capable despite passing the exact standards your own institutions created, that is prejudice. If you wanted a conversation about improving standards, we could have one. But this generalised, sweeping condemnation of foreign staff is not healthcare reform, it’s political theatre. Stop the theatrics please. Immigrants didn’t break the NHS. We are the reason it’s still standing. @BBCNews @SkyNews kindly help me inform your MP in case he does not see this. Thank you.
