THE GOVERNMENT is set to relax its restrictions on foreign doctors working in the UK to help ease the NHS staff shortages, it was reported last night.
As many as 3,000 non-EU medics could be allowed to work in Britain after MPs agreed to increase the 1,500 medics allowed in under the medical training initiative, according to The Guardian.
The move could also mean non-EU doctors could stay in Britain for three years – currently it is two years.
Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock lobbied for the change, and sources say he “fully appreciates” the difficulty the NHS has recruiting and retaining staff.
According to the latest figures, NHS England is short of 9,336 doctors. Although this is down form the 11,616 job vacancies three months ago NHS bosses say staffing issues are the biggest problem they face.
It is thought the move will be announced by the NHS in a long-term plan due out in mid–December.

A Government spokesperson said: “This Government welcomes the role of the Medical Training Initiative (MTI) in allowing overseas medical staff the chance to train in the UK, observe clinical practice and to learn vital skills. While they are training in the UK, these international doctors gain state of the art skills and experience, which they can take back and benefit healthcare globally.
“We are absolutely clear that these roles are not designed to fill substantive vacancies, but offer a valuable training opportunity for doctors from overseas.
“As with the other Government Authorised Exchange schemes, the MTI scheme is subject to regular review to ensure it continues to meet its aims and those of the immigration system.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
