Dear VSD - FOI Enquiries,

Thanks for your response.

I am looking at in country information of all doctors and dentists who have been granted Tier 2 sponsorship to undertake work within NHS hospitals for above period.

In other words, the numbers of doctors/dentists who applied for Tier 2 work permit to work within NHS Hospital and have been granted. I need data for each NHS Trust and by different clinical specialities such Oral Maxillofacial Surgery etc.

I hope the request is sufficiently clear.

Yours sincerely,

Harish Reddy
