Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the oral statement of the Secretary of State for the Home Department on legal migration of 4 December 2023, Official Report, column 41, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of reducing net migration on (a) recruitment and (b) retention in the social care sector.
My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, has committed to put estimates of the impact of these announcements in the House of Commons Library. This will be done in due course.
