This one will get the Remainers going, as they will tell you endlessly about a post Brexit vote xenophobia that is driving foreign nationals out of the NHS. But is that really the case?

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A FULL TRANSCRIPT!!
So, according to the Remain campaigners our health service is falling to bits because the Brexit vote has brought on a state of national xenophobia that is driving foreign medical staff out of the NHS.
Well, let's see what the government's own figures put together for a House of Commons briefing paper issued yesterday says, shall we?
But first, I just want to point to the latest ONS data that shows that, out of the whole UK workforce of just over 32.5 million, 88.7% are from the UK, 7.3% are from the other EU countries and just 4% are from the rest of the world. The figures shown in blue on the graph.
Now, I will make it clear that those stats cover the whole UK, while the House of Commons briefing paper covers NHS England only, but I am using them as a comparison. Because NHS England is by far the largest NHS Employer with 1.2 million workers, whereas Scotland has 162,00, Wales 89,000 and Northern Ireland has 64,000.
Now, according to the briefing paper there are nearly 1.2 million workers in NHS England that are made up as follows and shown in Green on the graph:
86.9%, or just over a million are from the UK
5.5%, or just over 64,000 are from the EU
and 7.6%, or nearly 89,000 are from the rest of the world.
As you can see from this comparison graph, we have fewer people from the UK working in NHS England as a propor..
