After 19 years on office jobs, I became a domiciliary care worker in May. I love my job, but the days are extraordinarily long. I didn’t sign the 48 hour waiver, but still get 50+ hours a week. I had to fight for weeks to get 2 days off a week.

A full day is 15 to 16 hours away from home. With min wage increase I’ll only be 6p an hour above the new min wage.

The job is very rewarding, but its also mentally and physically exhausting. Staff turnover is high, and over 60% of the workforce isn’t English. And most clients prefer an English carer.

While very welcome it is wholly insufficient as care workers need £14/15 per hour to encourage more to enter the care profession.

Also the DHSS is also out of touch as the £8.1bn it had it had made available to authorities from 2023-25 to meet current pressures, though not all of it is for adults’ services, it was insufficient if it had just been given to adult services for at least £12 billion is required for 2023/2024 and at least similar for 2024/2025 and others for many years to come.

If this is not forthcoming then social care will in any real form seize to exist, thereby causing untold health inequalities far greater than currently and this, in turn, will severely impact the NHS, which also could seize to exist in any real form and perhaps this is government intention.

But the government is not thinking it through for UK Society will also fail to exist and so will much of the UK workforce in many industries and professions.

This will be reducing the UK population and the welfare costs, but at the expense of the survival of the UK as we know it with no means of any recovery. It will take some years, but it will occur and resulting deaths will be in far excess of any seen before.
