The government’s decision to allow many more overseas doctors and nurses to work in the NHS was only temporary, Sajid Javid has said, in a move that has prompted concern that tough restrictions on numbers may be reimposed.
The home secretary hinted at a possible U-turn on the relaxation of strictlimits on medical staff allowed to come to Britain in a letter to the government’s advisers on immigration. Instead they could once again be included in the annual cap on the number of highly skilled migrant workers given work visas.
In his letter to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), Javid said his decision to remove doctors and nurses from the cap on tier 2 work visas for non-EU nationals was done on a “temporary basis”, adding that he intended to “keep this change under review”.
