Debate

Care Workers: Foreign Worker Visas

Contribution

My Lords, the spending review promised £4 billion for social care, but not until 2028-29, and it is being carved out of the NHS. Until then, there is nothing in the spending review, so all that is going to happen is that social care employers will have bits and bobs of sporadic announcements of limited pots of funding. How on earth can they build a skilled workforce which is adequate and up to the demands that are going to be placed on it?
