Recommendation 11
11
Require cross-government impact assessments for all workforce policy changes impacting the social care sector.
Recommendation
We recommend that any future policy changes or fiscal decisions relating to the workforce should be accompanied by a cross-government impact assessment that sets out the immediate and ongoing consequences for the social care sector. As part of this, the Government should set out what mitigating actions they would take to minimise any adverse effects on the social care sector, and how that compares to actions being taken to support the NHS. (Recommendation, Paragraph 74)
