The model ICB blueprint has implications for the whole health and care system. Good to hear this discussion with two people involved in pulling it together as we work through what this means for patients and communities.

My 46yr old sister has the capacity of an 18month old child & needs 24 hour care. Her entire team are overseas care workers. Who on earth do they think will look after our most vulnerable adults if you stop overseas care workers coming? It's ludicrous.
