Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have received a health and care worker visa since the establishment of that visa category.

The Home Office publishes data on Entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on ‘Skilled Worker – Health and Care’ visas granted are published in table Vis_D02 of the Entry clearance detailed dataset. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relate to 2023 Q3 (July to September) time period.
