Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government who is responsible for implementing the Code of Practice for the international recruitment of health and social care personnel in England; and what steps they are taking to enforce the Code with individual sponsoring organisations.

The Code of Practice for the International Recruitment of Health and Social Care Personnel, which is available in an online format only, applies to all organisations engaged in the recruitment and employment of international health and care staff. It is non-statutory guidance with no legislative enforcement powers.
