Introduce a higher, sector-specific Minimum Wage for PCAs and veterinary nurses

Require veterinary employers to increase wages to £14 per hour for patient care assistants and £15.50 for vet nurses/vet techs. We feel the industry is extremely taxing on mental and physical health and has extremely high standards set in place.
