Whilst I am pleased that the Welsh Government has announced this bonus and appreciate that it is well-meaning, it does raise the question of why it is not being extended to other areas? For example, many unpaid carers are facing huge financial struggles and are equally as deserving of being recognised for the work they are undertaking during this crisis.”
Welsh Government announce that social care staff will receive bonus payment
1 May 2020
RCN Wales responds to the Welsh Government announcement that social care staff in public funded services will receive a £500 payment
Helen Whyley, Director RCN Wales, said: “Social care staff are working incredibly hard during this challenging time and absolutely deserve this bonus. However, this is not a long-term solution for a workforce that is consistently underpaid. We need to be looking at a sustainable pay rise to ensure that we can recruit and retain enough staff to care for people safely and effectively in the future.
