The Government has waived the Immigration Health Surcharge for those arriving in the United Kingdom on the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme and the Ukrainian Family Visa Scheme to ensure all Ukrainian nationals have free access to healthcare. The Department is working with NHS England and NHS Improvement and other Government Departments to ensure that Ukrainian nationals are signposted to registering with general practitioners.
