Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its progress towards the National Care Service Fair Work Workstream 4 on sectoral bargaining, including its target timescale for this being fully in place.
Answer
The Fair Work workstreams, including workstream 4, are independently chaired by ENABLE's Andy Kerr. I understand that workstream 4 is making progress in discussions with partners including local government, social care providers and trade unions. The Scottish Government is committed to putting in place appropriate collective bargaining arrangements within social care and that can only be delivered with the co-operation and agreement of all our partners.
