Food sector may face 'staff shortages' post Brexit

PM

Available for over a year

New research has shown that since the EU referendum, there has been a sharp drop in nurses registering to work in the UK. Last July, 1,304 nurses from the EU joined the Nursing and Midwifery Council register; that number dropped In April 2017 to just 46. So which other industries are forecasting staff shortages, post Brexit? Heather Rolfe, from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, tells 麻豆社 Radio 4's PM programme that the food and drink industry, "where 35% of it's staff are migrants", is already starting "to feel the pinch".
