Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government must ensure that transitional arrangements are in place to ensure that social care workers can continue to be recruited from overseas for as long as it takes to build sufficient resilience in the domestic supply of social care workers. We agree with the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) that building this resilience will depend on improving pay and other workforce issues in social care.
