It pains me to pull up an fellow anti-EU'er but ....
Even under Labour we had controlled immigration from outside the EU and the Tories are following exactly the same rules.
The NHS IT system failure wasn't exactly Labours fault. I was working with one of the suppliers at the time. The failure came from the trusts and the staff themselves. There was a power struggle and many didn't want to give up the systems they already had in place ( mostly incompatible with each other ). They couldn't even agree on a universal email system. You see loads of people say the NHS should be removed from political control ( which I tend to agree with ) but it takes no account of the fact that many decision makers within the NHS play politics anyway.
What was required was a diktat from central government that this was the system going in and every trust HAD to use it. Instead they left it to the trusts to agree and the suppliers were left with an impossible task of trying to marry up many opposing requirements. Typical public sector really.
