Boris Johnson vows to issue Post-Brexit Visas for Doctors, Nurses

Britain s Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans for issuing special visas to aid the U.K. s National Health Service to hire doctors and nurses coming from different countries after Brexit.

A new points-based immigration system will be formed by the National Health Service of Britain which will be introduced right after the U.K. departs from the European Union, according to Johnson s Conservative Party on Friday.

The new visa will cost 464 pounds ($595), cut to half from the previous 928 pounds. The party also said medical professionals joining the NHS would receive extra points and applicants would be fast-tracked as part of the new procedures.

The Dec. 12 election entails a lot of work for the campaign and health care is one of the key advocacies as it has been a weak issue for the Conservative Party. Part of Johnson s effort to strengthen the health campaign is to plow cash into hospitals around the country, and put it under  people s priority .

Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, however, had previously stressed that Johnson will sell out the NHS in a trade deal with Donald Trump.
