question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to her Department's policy paper entitled People at the Heart of Care: adult social care reform white paper, published on 1 December 2021, whether the target for 80% of CQC registered social care providers to have a digital social care record in place by March 2024 was met.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>We have increased the adoption of digital social care records (DSCRs) by Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered providers from 40% in December 2021, to at least 63% in February 2024. In January 2024, the Department updated this target to ensure that 80% of CQC registered providers and 80% of people who receive care will have a DSCR in place by March 2025. By extending timeframes, we can ensure that care providers who are yet to digitise have the time and support needed to successfully adopt DSCRs, and to reduce the risk of regional disparities in DSCR uptake. We’ve allocated a further £25 million this financial year, to ensure as many people as possible can benefit from a DSCR.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 29/04/2024 14:30:46 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>The Defined Certificate of Sponsorship process for carers and senior carers from overseas is the same and frequently requires an assessment to establish whether or not the sponsor is able to offer a genuine vacancy. This usually requires the sponsor to submit additional documentation, while the timeframes involved are adequate for the purposes of preventing the exploitation of proposed migrant workers.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 15/04/2024 08:54:59 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

uin	19011
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2024 answer text <p>We expect social care visa volumes will remain resilient to removing the eligibility for new care and senior care workers to bring dependants. This is in the context of a strong global labour supply, possible changes in migrant behaviour in response, and that a proportion of recruits are estimated to already come without dependants. The Home Office has published estimates of the impact these changes might have on the number of people applying to work in the sector from outside the United Kingdom, which are available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-migration-statement-estimated-immigration-impacts" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-migration-statement-estimated-immigration-impacts</a></p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 25/03/2024 16:58:07 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
