Health secretary Matt Hancock says it will"make it easier for us to hire the finest doctors and nurses from other nations to come and work in the NHS."Visas will certainly get cheaper. The policy proposes cutting fees from the current rate of £928 to £464.
For around 88,000 overseas staff drawn from outside the EU the changes will be welcome. If the Home Office can deliver - and it has a patchy record of managing change - visas will become easier, cheaper and quicker to process. Health analysts say the announcement lacks sufficient detail for them to understand whether it will really address the workforce challenge.
"It doesn't sound as if it were easier to get staff in than it is now from within the EU. So it's that lack of detail that's a major concern."The announcement is also silent on the crucial area of social care, a sector that employs more than 1.5m people, a sector that faces arguably greater challenges than the NHS and has a direct impact on the health service.

It will help those nurses coming from outside the current EU countries who will pay less for a visa. EU nurses predominantly work in London and other major cities. More nurses are employed from countries other than the EU.
