Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the compatibility of levels of pay for social care staff working in (a) domiciliary and (b) residential care settings with levels of pay for equivalent social care staff working in the NHS.

No assessment has been made. Most care workers are employed by private sector providers who set their pay and terms and conditions, independent of Government.
