Supervisors need a wage increase of £ 2,000 a year to end the national scandal, says Bombshell Report

A new report by the Fabian Society asks the ministers to put £ 1.5 billion aside in order to bring the salaries for caregivers into harmony with the NHS and to end the recruitment crisis in front of the sector

A new report requires urgent measures against the payment of the supervisors

The ministers should put money aside to offer more than half a million maintenance measures a pay increase of £ 2,000, a reporting regulations.

Fabian Society says that the move is necessary to tackle the “national scandal” in social care. His report stipulates that the minimum wage in social care matches the NHS.

Trade union union has supported the demand that would cost £ 1.5 billion. There will be an estimated 120,000 job offers in England, while the government announced last week that they would hire social care visa, which means that companies from Great Britain have to hire.

Joe Dromey, Secretary General of the Fabian Society and co-author of the report, said: “Treating social care workers is a national scandal. Nurses offer important support, but they have the poverty content, chronic uncertainty and have few options for progress.”

And Christina Mcanea, Secretary General of the Unison, said: “Increasing wages in nursing is the first step to turn this oppressed sector.” She added: “The nursing work is highly qualified, like everyone who has a relative in nursing, only too well knows. But it is paid for as if it were a low qualified job.

“That is why too few people want to work in the sector and employers are dependent on overseas employees.” Keir Starrer said that the ministers are creating a plan to combat the crisis in the industry after they have closed the door to overseas care workers.

The prime minister, whose sister is a supervisor, previously said that he was obliged to tackle the crisis, but sees the pressure to act quickly. Fabian Society says that a minimum wage of 13.17 GBP is required for 600,000 nursing staff per hour.

And it estimates that the manufacture of salaries such as health assistants in the NHS could attract an additional 90,000 employees from the sector. The report entitled Use of the Opportunity also suggests that 27,000 employees would terminate every year.

This would lead to an improvement in the care standards, the report.
