No Benefit for Health & Care Worker Upon ILR and 5 Years After Naturalisation.

No Benefit for Health & Care Worker Upon ILR and 5 Years After Naturalisation. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We urge the UK Government to uphold the original 5‑year settlement pathway for Health & Care Worker visa holders. Maintain No Recourse to Public Funds at ILR and extend it 5 years post‑naturalisation, ensuring fairness, sustainability, and recognition of vital frontline contributions.

Additional details

For the Government: Significantly reduces pressure on public funds Avoids legal and social backlash associated with changing promises For Workers and Families: Preserves the promised 5-year settlement route Provides stability, dignity, and certainty Allows continued contributions to the UK economy and social care system. Health and Care Workers have cared for the UK’s most vulnerable with dedication. Supporting them fairly means protecting public funds without breaking past commitments.
