Just after Refugee Week https://refugeeweek.org.uk/ 14-20 June 2021 and today as we mark Windrush Day, it is heartening to see the following note that Luton North MP Sarah Owen https://sarahowen.org.uk/ has written on her Facebook page.
This year more than ever we’ve rightly paid tribute to NHS workers from home and abroad, unfortunately the boss of track & trace and the PM’s favoured candidate for the next NHS top job did not get that memo.
I’ve applied for a parliamentary debate on the fantastic contribution of overseas workers to the NHS and will continue pushing this government to stop penalising people who come to this country to care for our sick, elderly and vulnerable.
Debates are picked by a lottery system, but if successful it will bring a Minister to hear why this dog whistle nonsense from the useless Dido Harding - neither should be anywhere near our NHS.

Luton Cllr Jacqui Burnett said: "It is worth remembering that our NHS would not have survived without the Windrush Generation and its descendants.”
