The #NHS settlement from the #spendingreview may look generous, but it soon melts away in the context of existing commitments - govt must be clear about the compromises.
Social care is also unlikely to see the transformation we were promised.

Last week we warned about govt making sudden changes to immigration rules without a full assessment of the impact on health & care 👇 Now, ahead of the Immigration white paper, care employers may be facing a void: the end of overseas recruitment, higher ENICs, & no higher pay offer for domestic staff
The number of applications for Health and Care Worker visas has reached a record low since rules were changed in January 2024, with further changes made this March.
@ninahemmings.bsky.social told @the-independent.com that there has yet to be a proper assessment of the impacts.

This is the 1st time, as far as I can gather from my own research, that the CESCR has raised the issue of children in care from families in poverty in relation to any country. The UK Gov admitted failure, and that it has to change. It's something to hold them to account in the future. #CESCR2025 🇬🇧
In response to the UN CESCR, the Government acknowledges that too many children in poverty are taken away from their families. They commit to working towards ensuring that children stay with their families, including via kinship care. #CESCR2025 🇬🇧 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k16...
