Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government must use the forthcoming Spending Review to ensure that there is a sustainable funding settlement to provide for competitive pay for social care workers which ensures parity with NHS staff and is reflective of the skilled nature of social care work. Parity could be achieved by linking social care pay to equivalent bands of the NHS Agenda for Change contract and introducing meaningful pay progression.
