Undocumented Migrants: Health Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many irregular migrants have received a waiver from paying the immigration health surcharge in each year since 2017.
- Answer
-
Information on Fee Waiver outcomes is published as part of the Migration Transparency statistics; however it is not possible to disaggregate Fee Waivers granted to irregular migrants from the data. The Migration Transparency data can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data
Data is not held on whether individuals receiving refunds are regular or irregular migrants. The IHS refund is linked to the outcome of an application, rather than the status of a migrant.
