Congress leader K.C.Joseph, MLA, has accused Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of pulling the wool over the public eye by untruthfully claiming that the State government had struck an agreement with the U.K. administration to facilitate large-scale employment of Kerala's health workers in the foreign nation.
Mr. Vijayan had posted on his FB account that NORKA-Roots had partnered with a group that provides National Health Service (NHS) benefits to UK citizens. He claimed the move would enable the safe, transparent and legal migration of doctors, nurses and paramedical staff from Kerala to the U.K. Mr. Vijayan asserted Kerala could generate employment for 3,000 health workers in the U.K. in the first phase, which commences in November.
