If ministers had even a basic grasp of the sector, they would have reformed it long ago.
What’s needed is the proper reform that can only come from a national care service.
What’s needed is a national care service that’s adequately funded, with proper standards and fair pay for its workforce.
The Conservatives had been in power for ten years when Covid struck.
Ministers must take responsibility and pledge to deliver a well-funded national care service with nationwide pay scales.
Deep-rooted staffing problems will only begin to be resolved by addressing endemic low pay in the sector.
Vacancy rates are rocketing because care workers are underpaid for a difficult and skilled job.
Nothing short of a complete overhaul of the care sector will do.
Care employers are losing people in droves to warehouses, supermarkets and online retailers able to pay more for less stressful work
No one with Covid should be going in to work
Attempting to force staff to comply by threatening their livelihoods is just plain wrong
