Spanish and Portuguese nurses fill the gaps in the NHS link
Nurses are quitting crisis-hit Spain and Portugal for the UK, in search of better jobs and training opportunities
Unable to attract enough applications from domestic nurses, Queen Elizabeth hospital NHS trust launched a major recruitment drive in Portugal in 2010. It followed one in Spain a year earlier. While many of the Spanish nurses who arrived struggled to settle and have returned home, the 65 Portuguese nurses have fared better, helped by the area's already strong Portuguese community, where many migrants work in agricultural and food processing industries.
Society Guardian has learned that the number of nurses from Portugal and Spain registering to work in the UK has increased 15-fold in the last four years. Between 1 December 2010 and 30 November 2011, 536 nurses from Portugal and 431 from Spain joined the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register. That compares with only 32 and 31 respectively between 1 December 2006 and 30 November 2007.

Germano Couto afirma que, em média, “saem dez enfermeiros por dia para o estrangeiro. É preocupante, face às carências de enfermagem. Portugal deve suprir as suas necessidades antes de produzir mão-deobra para o exterior”.

É a politica deste Governo refém das medidas de austeridade a tentar atenuar as estatisticas do desemprego jovem que poderão esmagar a sua ambição de renovação de mandato nas próximas eleições.
