Care workers to be treated like doctors under Mahmood migration plans - The Telegraph

Shabana Mahmood to introduce new indefinite leave to remain regulations

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce changes to the indefinite leave to remain rules. The new rules will regard care workers similarly to doctors and could see some migrants wait up to 10 years for the right to settle in the UK. Skilled migrants are expected to add £115bn to the UK economy under current rules. The announcement comes as part of new immigration policies.

“The new rules will regard care workers similarly to doctors and could see some migrants wait up to 10 years for the right to settle in the UK,” — David Kingsley, economic affairs editor at Fencroft Field Group, commented.
