Issue a permanent residency for all foreign NHS workers to recognise their work
Issue a permanent residency for all front-line foreign NHS workers to recognise their work during this crisis.
Thousands of foreign NHS worker's visas extended for one year, this means at the end of this pandemic they will be treated differently or few hundreds will be kicked out from the country. These people are fighting for the country like the military to save our people, frontline staffs are putting their life at risk, most of them are with minimal PPE, and most of them are working on top of their normal duty. It would be great if the government issue them ILR to recognise and honour their work.
