Social Services: Pay
Monday 7th July 2025

Asked by: Zöe Franklin (Liberal Democrat - Guildford)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to begin consulting with adult social care providers on proposals for a Fair Pay Agreement.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

In England, we are committed to consulting on the design of the Fair Pay Agreement process, and we aim to begin a public consultation after the Employment Rights Bill receives Royal Assent later this year. We expect the consultation to run for 12 weeks, and we will work with partners to reach as much of the sector as possible.

We have already begun engaging with sector representatives in England through the Department’s Fair Pay Agreement Working Group and policy specific task and finish groups, which will help to inform policy options for a public consultation on the design of the Fair Pay Agreement process.
