Campaigners have welcomed reports that the UK government plans to remove doctors and nurses from an immigration cap – which could also make it easier for businesses to recruit IT workers from outside the EU.

Home secretary Sajid Javid is expected to reveal the policy shift tomorrow, various outlets have reported, as the government bows to pressure over the number of non-EU doctors and nurses that have been turned away at a time when the NHS is facing staff shortages.
