<p>In February 2022, we made care workers eligible for the Health and Care Visa and
added them to the Shortage Occupation list. We are also investing £15 million to further
boost overseas recruitment opportunities. We are running a national recruitment campaign,
with continuous activity across jobs boards, video on demand, digital audio, radio
and social media until 31 March. We are also making available £500 million to support
safe and timely discharges from hospital. Where appropriate local areas can use this
funding for measures related specifically to the recruitment and retention of care
workers.</p>
