Telegraph reports that Sajid Javid will move on Visas for Doctors and Nurses

Very pleased to learn this evening that the Telegraph is reporting Home Secretary Sajid Javid will relax the cap on so-called "Type 2" visas so that it will no longer prevent foreign doctors and nurses from outside the EU from being given Visas to come and work in the NHS.

If the report is correct there will also be Visas for another 8,000 skilled workers coming to work in the UK in other areas besides the NHS.

Extremely good news if this report is correct: Cumbria's NHS has been affected by the Type 2 Visa cap and our health service both here and in many other parts of the country needs those medical professionals to care for our patients and protect our services.
