Grant automatic ILR to overseas-born NHS workers and their dependents
The health surcharge for foreign NHS staffs will be waived off, however a family of 4 members would still have to pay £464*4=£1856 for a 3 year work visa, and £928*4=£3712 for a 4 year work visa! There's still the IHS of £624/person/year for each dependent.
The number of deaths among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) NHS health and social care workers is disproportionately high compared to the White population. Still, ethnic minority doctors and nurses and other health workers continue to fight against coronavirus on the frontline. They shouldn't have to die first for their role to be acknowledged!
Please grant the Indefinite Leave to Remain to all overseas-born NHS staff who help keep the UK safe and healthy, working hard day and night.
