Answered by Deputy Minister for Social Services

The Welsh Government does not collect or hold this data. Since April 2020, the workforce regulator, Social Care Wales, has been charged with collecting data on the social care workforce and this is published on its website. A link to this has been enclosed for ease of reference.
