Petition Action

Raise wages for Care Home Staff

Petition Details

Increase the wages of those working in healthcare and not just recognise the NHS

Additional Information

After working in care for almost 8 years it is apparent to me that staff feel unappreciated for the work they do due to such little pay and not enough recognition. For example staff who stack shelves in a supermarket get paid more than us individuals who work in Health care, our job is physically and emotionally challenging.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

The Government sets national minimum wages for workers of different ages, but isn't responsible for setting the salaries for privately employed individuals, including care home workers.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
