Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason prospective NHS staff from overseas have had delays securing visas to work in the UK.

The Home Office is not currently experiencing any delays in the processing of Health and Care visas.

Current processing times can be found on the Home Office website at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visa-processing-times-applications-outside-the-uk#popular-work-visas
