Supporting healthcare workers and their families, continued:

Work is currently under way to ensure healthcare workers are exempt from paying the Immigration Health Surcharge in light of the fantastic contribution they make to the NHS. 

The purpose of the NHS surcharge is to benefit the NHS, help to care for the sick and save lives.
  •  NHS and care workers from abroad who are granted visas are doing this already by the fantastic contribution which they make, which is why all NHS workers - as well as independent health workers and social care workers - will now be exempt from the Immigration Health Surcharge. 
  • Work by Government is now underway on how to implement the change and full details will be announced in the coming days
