Recently, on FUBAR Radio, Sunder Katwala, Director of British Future, argued that creating an NHS Visa is “a short-term tool to not deal with the medium-term problem.”
Chatting to hosts Zoe Grunewald on the politics programme, Politics Uncensored, the former General Secretary of the Fabian Society addressed the growing immigration in the UK: “There are examples where government, both parties and businesses have used migration as a short-term tool to not deal with the medium-term problems. I think social care is the really obvious one, and it's not being pro or anti migration to say, let's treat the wealth that people who come to Britain but actually strike a right balance.”
He also discussed the benefits of student migration: “In terms of what are the underlying causes of high migration, a bigger share of the International Student market is good if we're handling it well, in the place of students come to needing lots and lots of people for social care because no one wants to do the job because we don't pay it properly, that's bad, and we need a social care funding model. We'll still want people to be migrants in social care, and we should treat them well and value the fact that they've came in the NHS, which is the most popular form of migration in this country”
Later in the episode, Sunder discussed the challenges posed by asylum seekers: “The public overestimate how easy it is to cut because they massively overestimate how big a share asylum is. Asylum is 8% of these numbers, but the channel crossing bit of asylum is visibly uncontrolled.”
