Hike to immigration health surcharge will 'penalise' NHS workers from overseas, campaigners say

Hike to immigration health surcharge will 'penalise' NHS workers from overseas, campaigners say Ministers have been accused of “penalising” much-needed healthcare workers from overseas and pricing people out of immigration status after the Chancellor announced a hike to NHS fees for migrants.

Rishi Sunak announced during his Budget speech on Wednesday that the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) – paid annually by migrants living in Britain – would increase from £400 to £624 to ensure that that “what people get out, they also put in”.​ The Independent
