Thousands of foreign nurses working in junior posts in the UK could be forced to return home under new immigration rules, union leaders have warned. The Royal College of Nursing said the rules would "cause chaos" for the NHS and waste money spent on recruitment. And Prime Minister David Cameron even got drawn into the issue, saying more homegrown nurses were in the process of being recruited.

The move is part of the government's effort to control net migration, but the union says that by more than 3, NHS nurses could be affected.

RCN general secretary Peter Carter said: He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the move was "totally illogical" as there is currently a "major shortage of nurses", leading to many NHS trusts spending "tens of millions" to recruit from overseas. Due to cuts to nurse-training places, trusts are being forced into relying on overseas recruitment as well as temporary staff just to provide safe staffing.

The long-term solution is to train more nurses in the UK, but in the interim, foreign nurses filled the gap, he added.

He said of the new rules: A Home Office spokesman said: He said employers had had four years to prepare for the changes, adding: At the moment nurses are not on that exemption list, but the spokesman said it was possible they could still be added if evidence showed this was needed. Meanwhile, Mr Cameron said he did not believe the immigration rules would lead to a shortfall of nurses.

The training programme will continue," he said. Nursing shortages and spiralling agency costs have generated intense pressures on hospital finances. Calls by regulators for higher staff numbers following scandals such as mid- Staffs have resulted in higher demand for nurses at a time of limited supply. In effect, the RCN is saying the Government is shooting itself in the foot by pursuing a policy which could squeeze the supply of nurses even further.

Making nurses from outside the European Economic Area quit the UK if they don't earn enough could deter their compatriots from seeking work here at a time of rising demand for qualified nurses in most leading economies. The other side of the debate is the suggestion that the UK should train more homegrown nurses and not rely so much on migrant staff.

The tighter immigration rules do not effect recruitment from inside the EEA so there is still a supply of trained foreign health staff. The Home Office, responsible for immigration policy, and the Department of Health, anxious to ensure there are enough nurses, will no doubt be engaged in some full and frank discussions on this vexed issue. The Economist Intelligence Unit said any problems might be short-lived since there are now more nurse training posts in place and the Migration Advisory Committee has a system in place to identify skills shortages.

But Labour's Shadow Health Minister Andrew Gwynne said cuts to nurse training had left NHS hospitals with "no option but to recruit from overseas or hire expensive agency nurses. And British Medical Association Dr Mark Porter, speaking at the doctor's conference which is also taking place this week, also came to the defence of people from abroad who are working in the NHS.
