Verbatim
“Government and other care sector bodies have talked about the need for more 'homegrown' care workers for years -- but there is so little progress towards making this happen.”
“If we're going to put this model in, it's not going to work everywhere, and we might be compounding problems, so we need to understand the chemistry of the places that have got it right”
