Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many cases of communicable diseases were recorded in new arrivals to the UK in the last five years by visa status.

The UK Health Security Agency does not collect or hold data on communicable disease by visa status for new arrivals to the United Kingdom.

Advice on communicable disease screening and vaccinations for new arrivals to the UK is available in the Migrant Health Guidance, published on the GOV.UK website, and available at the following link:
