Last Thursday Govt celebrated hitting 50k more nurses, but with no info on routes to hitting target. On Monday, the govt announces significant changes to immigration. Today it is confirmed that 93% of increase was due to immigration. I wonder why Govt didn’t say that last week?

Relaxing immigration rules for overseas careworkers in 2021 was the govt’s single most effective action on . It brought down vacancies. Tightening the rules again is a real risk because, while vacancies have fallen, they are still higher than before COVID-19.

We've written to Victoria Atkins MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to reiterate why it's so important to extend independent prescribing responsibilities to occupational therapists.

Today's announcement on immigration should set alarm bells ringing for the social care sector. We know there are 152,000 vacancies and people are struggling to access the care and support they need: 🧵

Would be interested in the rationale for why the change to dependents for social care visas but not the same change for the NHS. I mean obviously I know the reason (politicians care more about the NHS than social care) but what’s the public rationale for it?

Social Care is an already sector struggling sector and the Government's plans to reduce are going to place it under further strain.
