Indian and Filipinos mass immigration planned to fill Care Home workers roles

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Foreign workers will be hired 'on a mass scale' to plug gaps in Britain's care homes: Government 'wants to send NHS managers to India and Philippines to recruit thousands of nurses'

Government ministers are drawing up plans to hire thousands of foreign workers to cover staff shortages in care homes this winter amid concerns over the state of the NHS and social care in the UK.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay told civil servants earlier this month to 'significantly increase' overseas recruitment of health and social care staff while streamlining hiring and regulatory procedures to ship in replacements.

Under Barclay's plans, NHS managers may be sent as far as India and the Philippines to bolster the worldwide recruitment drive, which he said was essential to ensure social care services are maintained ahead of a winter 'sprint', The Times reports.

There are close to 1.6 million staff in social care but there are still roughly 160,000 vacancies that need to be filled - and a decrease in acceptances on nursing degrees this year is likely to make the staffing crisis worse.

Royal College of Nursing chief Pat Cullen said figures released by Ucas on Thursday showing 1,560 fewer students were admitted to courses than in 2021 were pointing 'in the wrong direction'.

There are 21,130 accepted applicants onto nursing courses this year compared with 22,690 last year, the RCN said.

Surprised to see India as a cheap source of manual labour considering it was predicted to be an economic superpower which should surely look after it's own first and foremost?

India has a great nursing program. Churning out nurses that the whole world wants. I have a friend who is a nurse ( senior level) Says Indian and Nigerian nurses are top notch.

Why specifically India and Philippines?

Why not other countries too?

Wish they threw such jobs towards Pakistan aswell.

Home care jobs were mostly done by Filipinos, infact they are famous for it world wide.

These jobs are a great opportunity for many Indians. Especially if a pension is paid. If they get nationality and move back to India, they can claim their pensions aswell.

wait, how is this anything related to cheap source of labour? Does NHS pay below the minimum wage in UK?

Foreign workers have lower salaries than domestic workers.

These jobs are not minimum wage jobs. These are professional salaried jobs.

India is on the of the leaders in cheap care. Israel made a deal with India a few years ago, more countries will sing up too.

I think its great, there are 600 million Indians in poverty, many of whom are hard working people with a cultural mindset of respect the elderly.

Maybe a few can take of Priti Patel too. Pakistanis, Muslims arent much atm but Indians are now starting to put their old folk in homes now.

I think everyone must be paid the minimum wage but in care homes most are above this rate, however migrants will not be. The wage itself is a joke, very difficult for people to live on nowadays.

Both countries have a servile culture which is of course admirable.

The difference here is hundreds of thousands of Indians will apply for Indian carers visas for 12 months but be relatives, mostly men. This is a poor loophole which Priti has pretty much not understood.

This is an advantage of having prominent Indians in leadership positions. It will ease immigration for Indians to UK

New free trade deal between UK and India under negotiation will make immigration even more easier for educated Indians. This will lead to surge in numbers for Indian diaspora in UK. In the next 10 years we will have a larger and influential Indian diaspora in the UK ( just like US & Canada ). which will be strategic win-win for India. Just like the Jewish lobby in the West

 

[NishanKonar]

Also LOL at the sour grape comments from Pakistanis

I mean most Pakistanis wud give an arm to migrate to the West but unfortunately Western nations don't want to hire them bcoz of their negative stereotypes ( radicalisation, backward paindu mindset , grooming , paedophilia ). Even iron brother Turkey started deporting Pakistanis due to their pervert activities

You are getting carried away, these are care workers on minimum wage who will be sent back once their visa expires, they will not be given indefinite stay.

As I wrote many will abuse the system and call over their relative who will be working illegally after the 12 months expire or as soon as they arrive.

But I appreciate your honesty, many of your fellow countrymen tell us daily India is a shupapower with no poor.

Good point.

I hope there are many background checks for these care workers. Remember they will be caring for elderly women or elderly men, the last thing we need is some criminal rapists from the biggest sexual abusive nation on the planet to hurt our elderly folk.

Look in the mirror before accusing others, no nation comes close to India in terms of paindus and rapists.

Many of these people will get PR. And their kids will study in good schools and universities and become MBA / doctors / Techies later. Rishi Sunak's dad was working a pharmacy store when he arrived in UK. Unlike most Pakistanis - whose father drive cab, their son will also drive a caba and their grandson will also drive a cab !

Yes I am honest enough to admit India is right now poor and underdeveloped. But its funny to see Pakistanis troll India for being poor. I mean Pakistan is much poorer than India , facing sever economic crisis , high inflation and economic stagnation . At least India is growing steadily and moving upwards. Pakistanis are getting poorer every year !

PR lol

How will their kids study in GOOD unis when they will be back in India or do you and Modji have some plan were are not aware of?

Lets leave Pakistan out of this, you have already made a tool of yourself by bring up rapists when your nation is leading way with everyone else way behind.

Ok ,please put a date or estimation on when India will NOT a 3rd world countries. You think the PR of careworkers who wipe the bums of elderly white people is a gamechanger?

 

[KingKhanWC]

These care workers are coming from the likes of Mumbai slums, Dehli , Calcutta not from Bradford.

I think you bring up an important point, the elderly women and men need to be protected esp as many women inc doctors and nurses , even patients have been raped by doctors in India. Please do yourself a favour and never bring up this subect Mr Konar.

there is free trade agreement in the works between UK and India which will possibly get signed by end of the year. The trade agreement has provision for PR system for skilled labor from India ( like Canadian system ). So next few years you will see large scale migration from India to UK ( just like US and UK )

Migration to UK wont make big difference to Indian economy. But 10-15 years down the line with higher numbers in UK - we will have a stronger Indian diaspora in the UK ( just like we have right now in US ). That can give India leverage in foreign policy.

Indian diaspora in general do not have a reputation for perverts and podophile - unlike the Pakistani diaspora ! Most Westerners judge a country by the migrants of that country. They dont care about whats happening in their native lands

Plus not like Pakistanis are saints at home. Forget women - u guys don't even spare young boys ( bachcabaazi )

Again, you are being slow. These are INDIANS FROM INDIA.

We in the UK must conduct background checks to ensure none come over in the guise as careworkers when they are criminals or sexual abusers.

Or do you think we should let in any old Modi, Patel or Shah?

You cant read or comprehend simple English, its only making you look foolish. Stick to India or is this a touchy subject for you?

Theres already a big presence of indian nurses, and cleaners in hospitals across North west England. And a very recent survey suggested complaints from patients regarding a hugh drop in hygiene in hospitals and patients complaining about not being able to understand the staff which is concerning.
