	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2022 answer text <p>The Government is incredibly proud of all our health and social care staff and recognise their extraordinary commitment. The staff who make up the paid social care workforce provide an invaluable service to the nation. Regarding a specific minimum wage for care workers, a single national rate is clear and simple for employers to understand that all workers must be paid the National Minimum Wage. The Government is on track to achieve its manifesto commitment for the NLW to equal two-thirds of median earnings by 2024. This Government has always and will continue to encourage employers to pay their workers more than the statutory minimum when they can afford to do so.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 13/12/2022 09:58:30 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake

Digital Social Care Records have been implemented in more than 50% of care providers. This is an increase from 45% of providers in March 2022. We have provided integrated care systems with £14 million to support with the establishment and piloting of care technologies locally. The client-level dataset is being developed and from April 2023, it will collect data on those who receive care and support from local authorities. From April 2023, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will begin assessing local authorities’ delivery of their adult social care duties. The CQC have been working with local government, the care sector and people with care and support needs to develop a framework for these assessments.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 13/12/2022 15:57:34 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
