Number of migrant workers settling in UK 'could be cut'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15589596
Professor David Metcalf, head of the MAC, acknowledged that the government had already made changes affecting migrant workers but said it was "absolutely legitimate" to go further to get settlement "under control".
He said the MAC was recommending a pay threshold as "the best way to decide if a worker can stay in the UK".
"We believe that pay is the right criteria. First of all it's a good reflection of skill; it's also the case that pay is what's used presently at entry; and it's also got a considerable advantage in that it's simple," he added.
Prof Metcalf said some nurses might fail to qualify for settlement if there were a pay threshold, so the government could consider exceptions for key public sector jobs.
Under the proposals a pay threshold would be set somewhere between £31,000 and £49,000.
A worker would have to prove they were earning the relevant amount of money to be able to apply for settlement after working for five years in the UK.
It would apply to skilled workers, those covered under "Tier 2" of the government's points-based immigration system.
how many care home workers, nurses get £35k a year
, i bet most nurses dont get £35k , never mind £49k a year..
i suppose to Professor David Metcalf, head of the MAC thats just a few months pay to him, no idea of the real world

Chicken and egg situation here, if we cut the number of people entering the country and emptied the country of the people that should not be here then we wont need so many health workers.
My experience of a hospital ward last Christmas was that English was the minority language being used, same goes for visiting the out patients.
