The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what representation not-for-profit social care providers will receive on the proposed Adult Social Care Negotiating Body.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

As currently drafted, the Employment Rights Bill requires that membership of the Adult Social Care Negotiating Body must include, “officials of one or more trade unions that represent the interests of social care workers” and “persons representing the interests of employers of social care workers”. Further details on membership of the Negotiating Body, including on employer representation, will be subject to engagement with the sector and then set out through secondary legislation.
