However, following careful consideration, and taking on board requests and feedback from key stakeholders, the implementation of Section 43 has been delayed until Spring 2023.</p><p>The additional time before commencement and implementation will allow industries to fully prepare for any changes they need to make to ensure full compliance with the UK immigration system, should they wish to bring in foreign national workers to work in UK waters. Fishermen can currently use the Skilled Worker route, eligible jobs include share fishermen, trawler skippers, fish processors, and deckhands on large fishing vessels (9m+).

We have allocated more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, in addition to the £2 billion Elective Recovery Fund and £700 million Targeted Investment Fund already made available in 2021/2022 to increase elective activity. This funding aims to deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million additional checks and procedures and 30% further elective activity by 2024/25 than pre-pandemic levels. A proportion of this funding will be invested in workforce capacity and training and we have committed to invest £5.9 billion for new beds, equipment and technology.</p><p>The target to eliminate waiting times of two years or more for elective procedures was met in July 2022 and we aim to eliminate waiting time of eighteen months or more by April 2023. This will be achieved through increasing capacity, seeking alternate capacity in other trusts or the independent sector and engaging with patients to understand choices made regarding their care.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 27/10/2022 16:37:29 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
