This question was answered on 28th September 2020
Mr Speaker, I would like, with your permission to group questions 30 and 31.
Up till close on Friday, provisional management information shows we have concluded 5,954 free extensions for eligible healthcare workers and dependents.
On average, straightforward cases have been concluded within four weeks of receiving necessary information from employers to enable the extension to be undertaken.
