<p>On Wednesday 18 August, the Government announced a new bespoke Afghan Citizens’
Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), to welcome up to 20,000 vulnerable Afghans to the UK.
The scheme will focus on those most at risk and in its first year will resettle up
to 5,000 vulnerable Afghans. Subsequently, on 31 August, the Government announced
‘Operation Warm Welcome’ to ensure that all those relocated to the UK can access the
vital health, education, and support into employment they need to fully integrate
into society.</p><p>We are working across Government to ensure that Afghan people
who have been evacuated under Op Pitting or who have come to the UK through the ARAP
and ACRS schemes, are well supported in all their needs. This includes engagement
with the Department for Health and Social Care, where we are having ongoing conversations
around health provision. We are continuing to work with other Departments as part
of urgently opening this route - further details will be announced in due course on
