The National Party says the Government must act quickly to allow immigrant nurses to fill the shortfall of jobs within the health sector.
The party's deputy leader says the health sector is in need of an estimated 4000 nurses and the Government needs to let immigrant nurses in to help alleviate the strain on services.
Nicola Willis told Morning Report the government needs to drop the two year bonding scheme and allow immigrant nurses into the country to take up the jobs now.
She says the government needs to move quickly on this policy change.
Willis said the government must recognise immigrant workers do a good job and keep the health sector alive.
