Migration levels have hit "unprecedented levels" in recent years,Net migration to the UK - total permanent arrivals minus total permanent departures - reached a record 906,000 in the year ending in June 2023 and then fell to 728,000 in the year ending in June 2024.

The continued high levels persist, despite previous government efforts to bring the numbers down. For example, in 2010 the Conservatives pledged to reduce net migration to the "tens of thousands".Annual net migration is expected to come down to about 315,000 by the end of the Parliament.That's according to the central forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) - the independent body that scrutinises the public finances.

And many of the work visas have been for people coming to do jobs in health and social care.
