@mancunianmedic @drhjefferson @ShivaniM_KC Minidiscs were just way cheaper than memory sticks at the time.

Beautiful day. Ice and sun on the sea ❄ ☀

@_mark_topps @drjanetownson @homecareassn The article mentions language as a barrier to recruiting care workers from abroad. Unlike the UK, Japan doesn’t have the luxury of a language spoken by people all around the world. Finland's in a similar situation, meaning it's been necessary to address problems much earlier.

@ShaunLintern Minus 30C here in Finland... Nice and warm inside.

@DavidJ_Brindle @Helen_Whately @CommonsHealth @PaulBlomfieldMP Guarantee hours contracts don't solve the problem either as the T&Cs are otherwise similar to zero-hour: i.e. gaps are not paid for. Need shift & salary pay to make homecare comparable to almost any other job. Shop workers don't only get paid when they're talking to customers.

[Mark Russell-Smith @Mark__RS]

@DavidJ_Brindle @Helen_Whately @CommonsHealth @PaulBlomfieldMP It was good that @Helen_Whately acknowledged that it isn't just about travel time. Workers have a lot of unpaid down time. Even complying with NMW wouldn't fully solve the problem as HMRC only require that gaps of <30 minutes are paid.

@JournoJane @DavidJ_Brindle @Helen_Whately @CommonsHealth @PaulBlomfieldMP @WEAHSN Would be possible to be cost-neutral, so no increase in Fees. The level of fragmentation in the UK is a huge problem for multiple reasons. Care assessment & brokerage practices also play a key big role. Co-production approaches used in, e.g. Finland, would help.

@ShaunLintern @vicrayner Homecare pay isn't just about the hourly rate; it's the hours workers are paid for since they're often only paid based on contact time. Fixing this requires structural & systemic changes. We're bringing experience on this from Finland with @WEAHSN https://t.co/tzPkzNO3Wd
