PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(20 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of levels of carers pay.

Asked by:
Marie Goldman (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Adult social care is a historically low paid sector, as most care workers are paid at or just above the National Living Wage. The recently introduced Employment Rights Bill aims to address this by establishing a framework for Fair Pay Agreements, through which an agreement on pay and other terms and conditions for the adult social care sector can be negotiated and reached by employers, worker representatives, and others in partnership.
