PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
General Practitioners: Migrant Workers (10 October 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to increase the number of indefinite leave to remain applications from international medical graduates who have undertaken general practitioner training.

Asked by:
Janet Daby (Labour)

Answer

Being granted indefinite leave to remain (ILR) allows an individual to work in the UK permanently without being subject to immigration control. International medical graduates (IMGs) who have undertaken GP training are eligible to apply for ILR after completing five years on the Health and Care visa route, in line with IMGs in other fields and work visa routes in general.
