Nothing to do with the wording of the poll that... I’m sure “do you support training more British doctors” would’ve had a totally inverted outcome...

Zero evidence for your idea that a majority of people would say: we need more training of doctors, and so the government should turn down NHS trusts wanting visas to employ doctors in 2018, to create more incentive/pressure on the government to train more doctors for 2025??!!

And how much of that pressure is due to mass immigration exactly?

Some but not all of it. Ditto tax £ paid by migrants to fund NHS. * Are you in favour of migrants already here having right to stay (or having to leave?). Slowing future migration separate to current NHS need * So, are you waiting 7 years for training, or doing training & visas?

So each year the addition of hundreds of thousands of more people isn't putting that much pressure on the NHS?

Nonsense - and it’s also a racist fallacy to say that people with no understanding of British society are worse at front-line medical care / have worse patient outcomes
