Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many visas were issued to doctors to work in the NHS in each of the last three years.

The Home Office does not routinely publish data on specific occupations or places of employment.

We do publish data on entry clearance visas in the 'Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release'. Data on Skilled Worker - Health & Care visas issued are published in Vis_D02 of the 'Entry clearance visa application and outcomes detailed datasets'. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the 'Notes' page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the year ending September 2022.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the 'Research and statistics calendar'.
