Nigel Farage says NHS-trained doctors should be required to work for the health service for several years after the completion of their training, to stop doctors trained at our expense from going abroad.
Speaking on GB News he said: "We are spending a heck of a lot of money training doctors now.
"For example, you know when you get to the level of a consultant, the estimate is that over £400,000 of taxpayers money has been spent getting that man or woman to consultant level, and I think we should return to an idea that was rather well known in Dickens's day.
"It was called indenture. What it meant it was a contract. We will train you. We will invest our time in you. We will invest our money in you. But you've got to give us back a number of years of service before you consider going to Australia or elsewhere.
"I know some people are going to think I'm being terribly old-fashioned, but I do think that it's wrong that we train doctors that head off around the world.
"We then import doctors from poor African countries that probably need those doctors more than we do. As you can see, I feel quite strongly about this now."
