Care Workers: Labour Turnover and Recruitment
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps are they taking (1) to increase the carer workforce, and (2) to reduce staff turnover rates in the sector.
- Answer
-
We are promoting adult social care careers through a national recruitment campaign, which launched on 2 November. We are also providing resources and practical toolkits for care providers to attract, train and retain care staff, including the Workforce Development Fund.
We are making available up to £2.8 billion of additional funding for social care in 23-24 and £4.7 billion in 24-25 to support adult social care and discharge - the biggest funding increase in history.
