<p>We have been clear that we want all EU nationals, including those working in the
NHS and the care sector, to stay in the UK after we leave the EU.</p><p>In December
2018, the Government set out its proposals in “the UK’s future Skills-based Immigration
System” White Paper. In line with the independent Migration Advisory Committee’s (MAC)
recommendations the White Paper proposes a new route for skilled workers, which will
be open to occupations at RQF level 3 and above. The MAC also recommended maintaining
the existing system of salary thresholds.</p><p>The Government has been clear that
we will undertake an extensive pro-gramme of engagement with a wide range of stakeholders
across the UK, including with the private, public and voluntary sector and local govern-ment,
as well as industry representatives and individual businesses before taking a final
decision on the level of salary thresholds.</p><p>The White Paper also includes a
transitional route for temporary workers which will be open to anyone from qualifying
countries, wishing to fill positions at any skill level, for up to 12 months. We do
not intend to impose a cap on the number of people wishing to use the route.</p>
