Undocumented Migrants: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many irregular migrants have received a refund for paying the immigration health surcharge since 2017.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
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.
