@homecareassn@wesstreeting@LGAcomms Local authorities and providers are currently discussing fee rates.
Early indications are worrying.
Some councils have written to say that will be 0% uplift because their budgets are insufficient.
@homecareassn Many councils are paying fees below the amount needed to cover wages at the new NMW of £12.21 per hour and statutory employment oncosts (statutory pension, NI, holiday pay, sick pay, av travel time & mileage)- £22.71.
This leaves less than nothing to contribute to other costs.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far! They money we raise get's sent to Royal British Legion Industries every week, so we're already making a difference. They do incredible work. https://t.co/1LSaCs5bBZ #JustGiving

I had a great day yesterday at the Homecare Association’s annual conference at the Oval in London. Lots of discussion about financial viability (I was one of the panellists), how Homecare might look under a Labour Government, overseas carer, & unscrupulous providers etc
@RoryStewartUK@Waterstones Loving the book especially the insights into Liz Truss! I was backing you for Prime Minister. How is it that the eccentrics win over integrity and common sense? I guess this is the question you often ask yourself.
Delighted to announce that, for the 4th year running, 1st Homecare has been named as one of the Top 20 Care Groups in the country. The award has been provided by https://t.co/y4Eozl5B5s which gathers and verifies client reviews providing great credibility to the award procedure.
@DigiSocialCare @1stHomecare It’s really important that we protect our electronic data just as we did in the days of paper records with locks, burglar alarms, fire alarms and shredding facilities etc. DSPT provides you with the tools to do this effectively.
Our new Treasurer is @jrarennison CEO at 1st Homecare and Honorary Secretary Polly Munyeza Owner and Registered Manager Support Unlimited UK. We will be working with them to ensure that homecare is valued so that all of us can live well at home and flourish within our communities
Full house for our panel discussion on progress with digital technology in homecare at the @CareShow Many thanks to Emma Harris @NHSX Rob Moore @Homeinsteaduk Doncaster @jrarennison for interesting & thought-provoking contributions @homecareassn
@PaulBrandITV@drjanetownson If home care workers will required to have two jabs then it would only be fair for all visitors to those under care to be double-jabbed- unregulated carers, volunteer carers, family carers and family friends. But how can this possibly be policed?
