So when my local hospitat went to the Philippines to recruit nurses they were also offshoring jobs? No they were just recruiting staff to come and work in the U.K.


offshoring usually means moving a function out of the U.K. such as setting up a call centre in say India and replacing U.K. based staff with cheaper Indian staff.

this is not what is happening here at all. You need to check yoiur dictionary definitions before using such a word as offshoring.
