> there's little to no evidence yet of any exodus of highly skilled workforces

The NHS has plenty of evidence that EU workers (doctors, nurses, allied health professionals -- all skilled staff, all hard to replace from UK recruits) are leaving, and that's despite the clear assurances given by SoS Health that EU NHS staff are guaranteed to be allowed to stay.

EDIT: the guarantee of being allowed to stay was provided rather late, so many people left before it was given, but they're still leaving.
