The NHS staff who can’t be civil servants

Hundreds of non-British NHS England staff face losing their jobs because their nationality prevents them working in the civil service.We discuss why this threat  – that seems to fly in the face of NHS values – has come about, and what it says about the wider restructure process. Also this week - the first ‘advanced foundation trusts’ have been confirmed so we cover who made the cut and the benefits this could bring for the chosen few. And on the subject of reorganisation, we discuss whether government will take the leap and overhaul primary care networks for the neighbourhood health era.
