Indian docs get relief injunction in UK
	London:There's good news for the doctors of Indian origin working in Britain. According to a new order issued by UK’s Department of Health, even those doctors who don't have visas beyond August 1, 2007, will be eligible for this year's recruitment to the National Health Service. This comes even as the recruitment for the National Health Service is set to begin on Monday. The latest injunction comes as a relief to the those Indian doctors who do not have work visas beyond the August 1 2007. The nightmare for Indian doctors in the UK started on Feburary 23, when the Department of Health agreed to hold in abeyance the new immigration laws announced last year. The laws made it very difficult for Indian doctors to get jobs in UK because they were considered second in priority only after the EU candidates. Though the DoH had made this consession in Feburary, there was one condition in the declaration which said that only those shortlisted candidates will be considered who had work permit beyond August. That in effect, meant that a large number of Indian doctors would have been disqualified on this clause. The Association of Indian Doctors then appealed to the Health Department and they got an emergency injunction over the weekend. The injunction is like an stay order on the clause, which says that for this year, all non-EU doctors who do not have work permit beyond the said date will be considered at par with the other candidates.
