To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 16 April 2018 to Questions 134800, 134801, 134802, 134803 and 134804, on Visas: Skilled Workers, if she will publish the data requested.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
The Home Office visa case-working system does not capture the profession of the applicant or which UK Region within the NHS they wish to work in. This information is captured on the Tier 2 application form, however, to provide that information would require a manual check of our records and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
