The government announced on Monday, Britain’s new immigration system will provide faster and cheaper visas for skilled health and social care workers.
The government summarized a new “Health and Care Visa” which will lower fees, cut application times and provide greater support for worthy applicants who will work in the NHS, social care or supporting companies.
The immunity will also apply to their families and dependents, according to the written ministerial statement.
The list of skilled eligible include doctors, nurses, midwives and social workers, although the document acknowledges that this will be expanded in the near future.
