由于成本上升和海外雇用受限,联合王国高地护理部门面临崩溃,使脆弱的成人和国民保健制度面临风险。
UK's Highland care sector faces collapse due to rising costs and restricted overseas hiring, risking vulnerable adults and NHS.
联合王国高地护理部门正面临严重危机,原因是国家保险缴款增加,以及根据高地家庭护理员Campbell Mair的说法,拟议限制雇用海外护理工人。
The Highland care sector in the UK is facing a severe crisis due to rising National Insurance Contributions and proposed restrictions on hiring overseas care workers, according to Campbell Mair of Highland Home Carers.
他警告说,这些政策威胁到广泛的服务关闭、劳动力短缺和超时护理不足,使脆弱的成年人面临风险。
He warns these policies threaten widespread service closures, workforce shortages, and inadequate out-of-hours care, putting vulnerable adults at risk.
近一半的护理提供者担心由于无法负担的费用增加而崩溃,费用上涨是由公共筹资政策驱动的,但得不到足够的支持。
Nearly half of care providers fear collapse due to unaffordable cost increases, which are driven by public funding policies but not matched with sufficient support.
Mair强调,国际工作人员对于在一个需要专门的同情心和技能的部门发挥关键作用至关重要,而结束征聘将加剧现有压力。
Mair stresses that international staff are essential to filling critical roles in a sector requiring specialized compassion and skills, and ending their recruitment would worsen existing pressures.
如果没有紧急、资源充足的解决办法,危机可能会严重影响个人和更广泛的国民保健制度。
Without urgent, well-resourced solutions, the crisis could severely impact both individuals and the broader NHS.
