Hard-right Tories have said the UK should stop giving visas to foreign care workers.
Their extreme proposals include scrapping a scheme fast-tracking workers in the care sector for visas. But will this work?

A. Most people equate adult social care with low status and pay, and little opportunity for career progression, which makes it difficult to attract and retain staff.
