tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central
tabling member printed	Dan Jarvis
uin	63347
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2020 answer text <p>NHS workers from overseas have made a huge contribution in tackling the current pandemic. We are extending the leave of key NHS frontline health workers and their dependants by one year, free of immigration fees and health surcharge, if it was due to expire before October 2020. This offer has also been extended to cover those working in key healthcare roles in the independent health and care sector. However, indefinite leave to remain is based on a number of requirements, including a period of lawful residence in the UK without excess absences, sufficient knowledge of the English language and life in the UK, and any specific requirements of the visa route they are in.</p><p> </p><p>Families and dependants of all health workers who sadly pass away due to contracting the COVID-19 virus will be offered immediate indefinite leave to remain, without a requirement to pay a fee. We hope the number of people who find themselves in this position is very small. Our thoughts go out to the families and friends of all medical professionals who have passed away while fighting to keep us safe.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 29/06/2020 16:09:23 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
