Care UK staffing contracts, fair deal.
Pay the staff who were employed by the HHS before the Care Homes they work in were privatised a fair and decent wage.They have cut wages up to 35% for existing staff and pay the pittance of £7 an hour for new staff.
These private equity companies should have no part of our National Health service, they manipulate their finance so that they borrow from the left hand to finance the contract and offset this against the profit they make, even showing a book loss. Some Bridgepiot loans are from a firm based in Gurnsey payed part of £90 million interest last year of which no corporation tax is payed and it's sister company Silver Sea, based in Luxembourg, fund the construction of Care UK care homes and Luxhambourg is another tax haven?

Why is this important?
Everyone has parents who may need care as they age. Unless you die young you will all get old and may need care. The cost of caring for old or disabled people and children is for the most part payed for with taxpayers money. It is outrageous that private equity companies can profit from need, financed by tax money of ordinary people and pay poverty wages.
