RESOLVED that:
Council believes that care workers provide the most crucial services to our elderly and disabled residents, and they deserve to be paid a living wage.
Council notes that some former Fremantle care workers that have been transferred to the Barnet Group may be being paid less than the London Living Wage which is currently £10.55 per hour. The Barnet Group policy is to pay all its workers at least the London Living Wage.
Council welcomes the commitment for a feasibility report into the issue to be brought back to the next meeting of Policy & Resources Committee.
