The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of retrospective changes to settlement requirements on health care workers and the wider health care system.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The consultation for the earned settlement model, as proposed in ‘A Fairer Pathway to Settlement’, was open to the public between 20 November 2025 and 12 February 2026. Contributions will now be analysed, and the findings will support the development of the final model.

Economic and equality impact assessments will be conducted on the final model and published in due course.
