The death through Covid of a Filipina nurse was announced a few days ago.What was shocking was that she was the 57th Filipino Nurse to have died here from this terrible disease.This report from last June estimates that there are as many as 40k such nurses working in the UK:https://www.nursingtimes.net/news/coronavirus/high-death-rates-among-filipino-nurses-in-uk-now-on-global-radar-05-06-2020/

We don't have anything like enough of our own nurses here and the Philippines is one of the countries where our health service goes to recruit from.https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/how-incredibly-far-west-london-17749322See what the King's Fund says:https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/positions/nhs-workforce
