The UK declared on Monday that caregivers and health workers were not permitted to enter the nation with their dependents.
Applicants’ reactions to the United Kingdom Home Office’s announcement of this decision on its verified X handle (formerly Twitter) were divided.
“Care workers are no longer permitted to bring dependents into the UK on Health and Care Worker visas as of right now. This is a component of our strategy to bring about the largest migration reduction ever,” it stated.
It went on to say that around 120,000 caregivers who started working in 2023 would have to abide by the new guidelines.
Nigerians respond to the UK’s prohibition of health workers bringing dependents:
“This is becoming serious, nothing like making our very own country work,” stated Tyanju_mi. Enough to let’s get started.
“So you expect them to come in and come take care of your families, but they should leave their families back in their country?” asked AladejanaDeji in a quiz.
“Immigrants with the experience and personnel you need will have to cease arriving then,” Ada_Ojilibeka continued. You don’t have to travel to the UK. Because it is incomprehensible to want someone to come serve you while abandoning their family. How are they expected to focus and do their best work?!!
These decision-makers don’t give these choices any thought at all.

As more nurses leave the UK for the USA and other nations, the government is increasingly focusing on the one workforce that stays behind to assist the nurses. Many gratitude to everyone employed by the UK healthcare system. You have my sincere gratitude.
14% of UK citizens are immigrants, according to anataboga.
NHS and care personnel comprise 19% foreigners. This proposal will make it less attractive for immigrants to work in the care and NHS sectors. Longer NHS wait times, higher care costs, and a shortage of healthcare workers will all result from this strategy.
