Care Workers Could Get Immigration Relief | London News
Description
The UK may soon exempt hundreds of thousands of migrant care workers from new immigration rules, as part of a broader plan to tackle the nation’s crumbling social care system. With staffing shortages worsening and providers struggling under low pay, the government is considering a National Care Service and boosting funds like the Better Care Fund to reduce hospital readmissions. Unions warn pushing out essential workers could be catastrophic — these are the people keeping vulnerable lives afloat. Meanwhile, long-term solutions may include new taxes, sparking fierce debate over who deserves care and who should pay for it.
