Responding to comments from BMA Scotland about the importance of European doctors, Scottish Liberal Demcorat health spokesperson Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

"Senior professionals are warning that staff are facing serious uncertainty and feeling unwelcome. For doctors and nurses to be put off from working in the UK as a result of Brexit would be a medical catastrophe.

"Every single parliamentarian who claims to care about our health service should be heeding these warnings and pressing for a People's Vote and the chance to exit from Brexit."
