What the petition asks
Prime minister Boris Johnson announced scrapping of IHS for NHS and social care workers on 21 May and latter he announced a refund for the same. Unfortunately many migrant health workers are excluded from this refund as government included only those who applied for their visa after March 31
Foreign health workers paid immigration health surcharge upfront from 2015 when they apply for visa. Prime minister announced scrapping of IHS for NHS and social care workers on 21 May and later he announced a refund for the same.
Unfortunately many of the migrant health workers excluded from this refund as government included only those who applied for their visa after March 31. I urge the government to give a full or partial refund for health workers who fought for the UK during COVID-19
