Happy leap-year-day? My attention was drawn to this piece from Full Fact: So I sumbitted a request to the Australian Department of Home Affairs for the following information: Number of General Migration (subclasses 189, 190 and 491) and Employer Sponsor Migration (subclasses 186, 187 and 482) visa applications lodged, granted, refused and on hand from 2013 to 2023 (inclusive), by year, for applicants with British nationality or applying from the UK, for Medical Practitioner ANZSCO 253.

This is in follow-up to the HSCS committee hearing, 16/01/24. Original request, 16 January 2024: I refer to your appearance before the HSCS Committee today, 16th January 2024, regarding the regulation and expansion of Medical Associate Professional roles within NHS Scotland.
