<p>On 6 July 2018, an Immigration Rules change to the Tier 2 (General) cap came into
effect, to address particular pressures facing the NHS.</p><p>This change exempted
doctors and nurses from the cap and freed up more spaces for other sponsored high-skilled
occupations, including dentists. Since this exemption, no dentist has been refused
a Tier 2 (General) place and the cap has not been breached. There are no current plans
to make further changes to the operation of the Tier 2 cap within the current immigration
system.</p>
