Overseas Students: Health Services
(asked on 19th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Home Office, what assessment he has made of the effect of the increase in the NHS health charge for students on the number of international students.
This question was answered on 23rd February 2018
The Government does not believe that increasing the Immigration Health Surcharge will have an impact on the number of international students. International students already pay a reduced rate compared to other entrants to the UK and we are committed to maintaining this approach. An Impact Assessment will be published later this year when the draft Statutory Instrument to increase the surcharge is laid before Parliament.
