We were concerned, however, that the Home Office did not fully understand commissioning arrangements in the care sector, which means it can be difficult for care providers to prove that they have guaranteed vacancies. In written evidence, the Homecare Association said that the disconnect between commissioning practices and visa requirements creates an unrealistic burden on care providers and that the High Court 75 IMM0005 76 C&AG’s Report, para 3.16 77 Qq 33, 63 78 Q 69 79 C&AG’s Report, para 3.17 80 Qq 11, 61 20 had ruled that the Home Office’s approach was irrational.81 The Home Office said that it works closely with the sector but would like to see stronger arrangements between local authorities and care providers to demonstrate vacancies exist.82
