Background
Nearly one in three care workers in England are from overseas. The Government's plan to block international recruitment without a replacement strategy is reckless and dangerous. There's no domestic workforce ready to fill these roles. Services will collapse, hospitals will gridlock and lives will be at risk. The Parliament must act now.
