PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Services: Migrant Workers (20 September 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the impact of salary constraints in the adult social care sector on levels of international recruitment for that sector.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

No specific assessment has been made. The Migration Advisory Committee is currently reviewing the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) and will report its findings by the end of March 2023. The inclusion of care workers on the SOL will be considered in this review therefore this will not automatically expire after February 2023.
