Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the devolved administrations about the impact of the discontinuation of care worker visas on care provision.

Adult social care is a devolved matter. Prior to publication of the Immigration White Paper, devolved administrations were invited to submit their proposals for inclusion and had the opportunity to discuss the paper. Post-publication engagement with the devolved administrations has continued at both ministerial and senior official level to discuss the impacts of reforms.
