answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>The Government reformed the Immigration Rules for adult dependent relatives in July 2012 in light of the significant NHS and social care costs which can be associated with these cases. The new rules seek to ensure that only those who have a genuine need to be physically close to and cared for by a close relative in the UK are able to settle here. Those who do not have such care needs can be supported financially in the country in which they live by their relative in the UK. We have kept the family Immigration Rules under regular review in light of any evidence received as to their impact and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/11/2015 17:52:42 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
