Migrant recruits must get private healthcare

Tuesday 29th June 2010

Businesses face more recruitment hurdles after it was revealed that immigrant workers will be forced to have private healthcare.

The move is aimed at easing pressure on the National Health Service and follows the announcement that there will be a cap on the number of non-EU workers allowed into the UK.

Companies which employ a migrant worker from outside the EU will have to pay for health cover for the duration of their contract - at a cost of hundreds of pounds.

Despite remaining below the neutral 50.0 mark (a figure less than 50 indicates a contraction) for the 13th month running, the PMI moved further from February’s joint survey record low.
