NHS won't be in red for long

Well it looks like those 3000 doctors who can’t find a job better start flying abroad seeing as they will never get a job here. What about immigrant doctors? Surely they should be the first to go?

They don't appear to be getting rid of any 'managers' or 'administrators.' I am in the process of retiring from our locality's most prestigious academic institution. By its own published figures, it has 1 full-time manager* for every 6-7 academic staff and about 3 administrators for every 4 academic staff.
Academics make up about 40% of the 1500 or so staff employees.
*About half the managers are called 'Senior Technical and Professional' these days but they used to be called 'Middle Managers.'
Most academic staff would probably agree that management, by and large, is not of a particularly high order and many admin. staff are relatively remote from giving support to academic delivery.
I would guess the NHS is similarly top heavy.
