As UK gov plans to end overseas recruitment for social care, what does this mean for investors and providers?

The government has announced plans to reduce immigration in the UK and focus the system towards “those who contribute most to economic growth” with “higher skills standards” as well as training within the UK. As part of a white paper, the plan to lower “record-high levels of net migration” and end the “reliance on international recruitment” will include the end of overseas recruitment for social care visas, in a further hurdle to overcome for the sector.
