"I thank the Minister for his answer, but this is obviously a much wider problem, affecting more than just the children of alcohol-dependent parents.

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support is available to social care providers to implement the change in guidance on the national minimum wage and national living wage for sleep-in shifts for care workers.
Answered by Caroline Dinenage
Through the National Living Wage, the Government is making sure that pay is fair in all sectors, including social care.
The Government has already invested an additional £2 billion to put social care on a more stable footing and alleviate short-term pressures across the health and care system.
The Government is committed to working with local government and the provider sector to ensure that local authorities understand the costs associated with the National Living Wage when negotiating fee rates.

It was not the previous Secretary of State for Health who caused the £160 billion deficit the Government inherited in 2010. Naturally, …..."Kwasi Kwarteng - View Speech
