Fantastic idea by the UK government, they're trying to cut down in legal migration.. yknow the actual people who will pay taxes instead of leeching off the system.
there had been "abuse" of health and care visas for years.
If they're not a British citizen, charge them for it. I don't see how that is difficult.

Stealing healthcare workers from third world or less developed countries was always a deeply cynical and immoral practice to begin with.
