Doctors: Migrant Workers
(asked on 4th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many applications for Tier 2 visas have been made for doctors in each of the last 12 months for which information is available; how many have been refused; and what proportion of refusals were to applications for positions (1) London, (2) the rest of England, and (3) other parts of the UK.
The available information on applications and outcomes (i.e. grants, refusals, withdrawn and lapsed cases) of entry clearance visas in the ‘Tier 2 & pre-PBS equivalent’ category are published quarterly in ‘Immigration Statistics’, Visas data tables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 (see table below) 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.
