The DHSC held a Steering Group meeting on 8th December to discuss the reforms to the Health and Care Worker visa route and, as such, the estimated immigration impact assessments and a fact sheet to address FAQs have now been published. These documents set out estimates of the immigration impact of the package of measures announced on 4th December, and provide further details on the measures. These can be found at the following links:


Legal migration statement: estimated immigration impacts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Fact sheet on net migration measures – further detail - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)


The DHSC understand that there is some degree of uncertainty around certain aspects of the announcement, but assure us that they are working closely with colleagues in the Home Office to confirm the details, and will provide more information as soon as possible.
