DHSC Minister says profile of staff different
The Island won't face the same predicted shortage of care workers as the UK in the wake of Brexit.
That's according to the Health and Social Care Minister.
Last week, a UK think tank warned that England could face a shortfall of staff in the sector, if free movement for EU workers is not maintained in the deal.
David Ashford says, although the Island is tied in with the UK on any future agreement, the profile of staff is different here:
Border security: 'Even today, we don't know who's here'
Border Agency 'absolutely required' says Island's chief constable
DoI 'working closely' with Steam Packet to assess impact of Manxman withdrawal
Department says it wants to know about contingency arrangements during MGP
Tynwald mandated gas tariffs suspended by court
A later court date has provisionally been set for October
'Not viable' to pause visa applications says treasury minister
4,362 entry clearance visas were issued since September 2021
