Retain the 50 pence pay per hour for care staff.

What the petition asks
Care staff where given 50 pence per hour in wages throughout the covid crisis. It is extremely unfair to withdraw this as care staff are on minimum wage and we are still having to adhere to covid regulations in the homes.
Because they put it in place and it was well justified. It's withdrawal is totally unjustified as care workers have always been under valued for many years.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Pay for care staff is a matter for individual care providers, not the Government or House of Commons.
