Scottish Care issues open letter to politicians on social care immigration

Today (21 February) Scottish Care has issued on open letter to Jackson Carlaw MSP, Leader of the Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party,  from Scottish Care CEO, Dr Donald Macaskill.   It has also been issued to all other Scottish Party leaders.

The letter expresses Scottish Care’s profound concerns regarding the impact of the new immigration system on social care in Scotland. It calls for social care to be made an area of priority in order to ensure that we can continue to recruit social care workers from outwith Scotland.
