Hundreds of healthcare professionals fear plan will cause ‘catastrophic mental and physical harm’ to refugees
More than 830 UK health professionals and representatives from leading medical bodies have signed a letter to the prime minister expressing “grave concerns” that the government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda will cause “catastrophic mental and physical harm” to people seeking safety, in advance of a court of appeal hearing on the policy on Monday.
Signatories to the letter include the BMA and the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists.
