Government’s hostile policies are worsening already dire staffing shortages in care, says UNISON

Commenting on new Home Office figures showing applications for care worker visas have fallen by a quarter in six months, UNISON head of care Gavin Edwards said today (Tuesday):
“The staffing crisis in care was already bad, but the government has just made things a whole lot worse.
“Ministers have made it clear migrant care workers aren’t welcome. This is the stark result. No one could blame overseas staff for taking their skills to countries where they’ll be more welcome.
