Please stop exaggerating statistics to make your point. Most non-UK nursing staff originate from India, with the Philippines in 2nd with 15,391 (https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7783#fullreport).
Irish is 3rd, and a number of EU countries make up most of the top 10 countries of origin for NHS staff.
