PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Migrants: Health Services (27 April 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much money has accrued to the public purse from (a) NHS trusts, (b) organisations that provide social care (c) universities and other higher education institutions and (d) state-funded primary and secondary schools paying the Immigration Health Surcharge on behalf of their employees in each year since 2015.

Asked by:
Zarah Sultana (Independent)

Answer

The Home Office does not collate or publish the information requested.

Immigration Skills Charge data is broken down between large and small and charitable employers but not by sector.

Income generated by Immigration Health Surcharge payments goes directly to NHS services, helping to protect and sustain our world-class healthcare system for everyone who uses it. Income collected from the Immigration Skills charge is used to address skills gaps in the UK workforce, which will be of benefit to businesses in the long term.
