We've set out the position of this Government in relation to Brexit; we've set out the position that this Government takes in relation to wanting to have a more grown-up conversation with the United Kingdom Government about the realities of Brexit and the damage that it could do if it's pursued in its current shambolic form by the UK Government. I make no apologies for sticking to the policy of this Government and highlighting the concerns that we do have, not just on the national health service, but on a wide range of sectors of public life, public service and the economy.

The General Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Council have both indicated the number of reductions in people going onto the register from the European Union in the nursing workforce and well-founded fears about the doctor workforce, about people actively considering their future. I'm determined to make the case, with the rest of this Government, for a rather more sensible approach to Brexit, and I sincerely hope the United Kingdom Government finally listens and recognises reality.
