Award NHS workers with indefinite leave to remain in the UK
The NHS is a fundamental part of our public welfare system with a history to be proud of. Though the most valuable asset is the talented and passionate team of people committed to providing the best health care. As a result, we should protect our people and award them with indefinite leave to remain
Many of the dedicated professionals working endlessly to ensure our country is able to provide the best health care are in the UK on a visa. NHS workers are currently risking their lives to keep our country safe and reduce the number of deaths caused by COVID-19. The Government announced that NHS immigrant workers will receive and automatic 1 year visa extension, however, more must be done. They have risked their lives and that must be rewarded. Grant them indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
