The changes have forced many doctors to quit their NHS jobs, as highlighted repeatedly by i, in order to return to their country of birth to look after their elderly parents
Dr Raghu Kota, who proposed the motion, said: “Approximately 96 per cent of applications have been rejected [since the change] due to the hostile application of these rules. It’s an injustice thatDr Kota told the conference that the changes had “driven many elderly people to an early and lonely death”. He asked: “Do you want that for your loved ones?”
The BMA supports returning to pre-2012 rules but Dr Kota said there had been “little progress” so asked the BMA to be “more proactive” in lobbying the Home Office to “make the ADR policy more reasonable and humane”.with medics arguing therefore that there was little point in making the rules to obtain one so hard.
The call comes as two siblings tale the Home Office to the Court of Appeal next week to try and overturn the decision to reject an ADR visa . Ana Jackson, an operational commander with the Cornwall Ambulance Service, and Rohit Rahi, an associate professor at the London School of Economics, want their mother Neelam Rahi to spend her remaining months in England with them.
