The NHS plans to prioritize British doctors for new roles to ensure self-sufficiency in staffing. A 10-year plan from Labour aims to rebuild the NHS and tackle inequality, proposing to limit overseas recruitment to one in ten hires. This shift targets the current system where two-thirds of new doctors originate from abroad. Leaked documents suggest placing work coaches in GP surgeries to help patients return to work, addressing the growing benefits bill. Health Secretary Wes Streeting's recent comments acknowledged poor treatment of doctors amidst pay disputes.
