Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for Tier 2 visas for doctors to work in Wales were (a) accepted, (b) rejected and (c) pending in each of the last five years.
The available information on applications and outcomes (i.e. grants, refusals, withdrawn and lapsed cases) of entry clearance visas in the ‘Tier 2 & pre-PBS equivalent’ category are published quarterly in ‘Immigration Statistics’, Visas data tables volume 1, table vi_01_q, latest edition at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-march-2018/list-of-tables#visas.
Neither a breakdown by profession, or applications and outcomes by region of employment, is available in the published entry clearance visas data.
