Government to relax immigration rules on overseas doctors

Government to relax immigration rules on overseas doctors May heeds pleas from cabinet colleague to scrap ‘absolutely barmy’ caps on staff. Thousands more overseas doctors will be able to come and work in the NHS after Theresa May heeded pleas from cabinet colleagues to scrap limits that hospital bosses had criticised as “absolutely barmy”. The relaxation of immigration rules, which is due to be announced imminently, represents a victory for Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid and follows a vociferous campaign by NHS organisations and medical groups.
