LOW pay is driving tens of thousands of workers out of social care, a report warned today.
The Community Integrated Care charity said that staff in the sector are paid a third less than their NHS counterparts.
It argued that they need a 36 per cent wage increase — equivalent to £7,617 a year — and noted that there are currently 152,000 vacancies for care workers.
