The effect of Britain’s exit from the European Union on NHS 1,485 additional deaths per year – study

The researchers assessed the difference in pre -referral shares of the nurses in the European Union – the percentage of nurses from the European Union (EU) working in NHS hospital organizations before the referendum of Britain’s exit from the European Union.

This allowed the team to estimate the causal effects of Brexit on the quality of care in the hospital, specifically studying the effects on the hospital’s death rates and re -emergency re -emergency re -operations.

Specifically, the study is estimated that, over the three years that followed the 2016 referendum, NHS faced 34 additional deaths for each hospital with average exposure to Britain’s exit from the European Union.

In the study, the pre -referral share of nurses in the European Union in English NHS hospitals ranged from 0.5 % to 22 %, with an average of about 5.84 %. Hospitals with a higher percentage of European Union nurses were more before the referendum with the trauma of negative offer to provide employment caused by a vote to leave the European Union.

Effectively, the research authors find an amazing decrease in nurses flows in the European Union immediately after the referendum and a severe, simultaneous increase in the share of nurses abroad other than the European Union rented by NHS Hospitals.

They also found that the NHS New New New Hospital group had less expertise or skills, as fewer salaries were paid.

This structural change of the workforce was the most likely mechanism to increase death and unplanned acceptance rates, as the authors are able to exclude many other mechanisms, for example, changes in the patient’s population composition, changes in other parts of the hospital’s workforce (consultants) and changes in hospital productivity (bed occupation rates).

Professor Giuseppe Museili, a professor of economics and the main investigator of the study at the University of Syria, said: “Brexit has been severe consequences or real death for patients in our hospitals. The evidence we collected shows that the loss of the most experienced or skilled nurses has led to a decrease in the quality of care,” said Professor Giuseppe Museili, Professor of Economy and Commander of the Study at the University of Syria.

“Our research provides two important messages for taxpayers and policy makers. On the one hand, it emphasizes the decisive role played by skilled migrant nurses in the health care system, especially in emergency care, where the risks are higher. Professionals, to prevent similar quality from the deterioration of hospital service in the future.”
