Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many care workers on the Health and Social Care visa are employed by visa sponsors who are (a) registered with the Care Quality Commission and (b) not registered with the Care Quality Commission.
The Home Office does not publish data that would cover these requests.
However, care workers who are currently sponsored by non-CQC-registered providers will be able to continue working for those providers after the upcoming rules change.
