This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The English language requirements for healthcare practitioners are set by the independent regulators for these professions, not the Government or Parliament.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to Help international healthcare professionals to join the NHS, including by liaising with professional bodies to ask for exemptions to the registration process for these workers, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/308572
