The Mail is worried that GPs won't take on any more patients. /1 
There is undoubtedly a GP recruitment crisis: there's evidence a third of practices can't fill vacancies. /2
And there is evidence GP vacancies are at the highest level ever. /3
Recognising this, the Government is paying recruitment agencies huge sums to recruit GPs from abroad. /4
But there's a big tide the other way. GMC evidence shows 54% of EEA Drs are considering leaving because of Brexit. /5
And even the Secretary of State recognises the huge risk Brexit poses to our ability to retain foreign Drs. /6
(Also. When did we start to look at the world only through self-interested eyes? What about the lives we disrupt. /7)
Meanwhile, as Government's left hand spends £100m trying to stem the tide, its right hand adopts measures to hurry it up. /8
And the Mail on Tuesday applauds a policy that on Thursday it comes to bemoan the consequences of. /9
Still. If you can't get medical help you need, or feel a stranger in your own home, you will be comforted knowing Brexit means Brexit /Ends
