麻豆约拍

麻豆约拍 Inside Out looks at the growing costs of translation and interpreting in NHS hospitals as a result of increased migration to Britain.

Several hospitals told the 麻豆约拍 that the impact of migrants who cannot speak English is a challenge for their staff, especially in acute situations.

Reporter Sarah Sturdey discovered that translation and interpreting costs in NHS hospitals in Nottingham have almost tripled whilst in Derby they have doubled in four years.

The migrant population of England has risen by 565,000 since 2011, with two-thirds coming from the EU, analysis by the University of Oxford estimates.

The figures suggest the foreign-born population of every local authority in the country may have risen.

The Migration Observatory unit says it came up with the projections because similar official data will not be available before the general election.

Everything is changing. That's the message in the projections calculated by Oxford University's Migration Observatory team who have come up with a fascinating glimpse at the shape of England.

The 麻豆约拍 has published figures from Oxford which, although they have limitations, tell us a great deal about the story of modern migration.

And it is a tale of change and movement which challenges historic notions of how migration works.
