Social Services: Minimum Wage
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect on providers of local authority-commissioned care for people with learning disabilities of historical back-pay liability.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises the pressures that sleep-in liabilities are placing on social care providers of all sizes, and is exploring options to minimise any impact on the sector. Any intervention to support the sector would need to be proportionate and necessary.
In the interim, the Government will continue to work closely with stakeholders to ensure that we have a clear understanding of any impact the sector may face.
