🧵Our Chief Executive, Dr Jane Townson OBE OBE said: “This Government talks about ending exploitation, shifting care closer to home, and building a high-wage economy. These are laudable aims which we fully support. But announcing a Fair Pay Agreement without any serious funding

Dr Jane Townson OBE 🧵We're calling for: 🔸An immediate £1.6 billion investment for sustainable careworker wages. 🔸A National Contract for Care, guaranteeing lawful fee rates. 🔸A fully funded Fair Pay Agreement. 🔸And for social care to be treated as equal partner to the NHS, not subordinate.


Well said Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 Liberal Democrats Lib Dem Lords -thank you for raising this very important issue. It world be good to meet sometime in Westminster to discuss the issues. Perhaps you might like to visit us too. Open invitation.
