NHS to waive off Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS): many health professionals to benefit. In a move to alight the burden on foreign health staff, the NHS has proposed the Government of\u00a0 UK to remove the immigration health surcharge (IHS) that the health professionals such as clinical staff, porters, cleaners, independent health workers and social care workers had to pay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This move has come as a direct consequence of the insistence on the Boris Johnson government on the pretext of saying a thank you to the foreign nationals who have selflessly served the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Matt Hancock, Social care secretary, announced the plans during the government COVID-19 briefing. https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-politics-52761052<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
