Vol. 415 No. 1
359 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health if she will ensure that there is a standard rate of pay for all persons engaged in home help for health boards; if she will outline the amount per hour this rate should be; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
The salary scale for full time home helps with effect from 1 January 1991 is in the range £164.77 to £175.33 per week. This rate applies in all health boards where home helps are employed on a whole time basis.
Persons engaged in the home help service on a part time basis are remunerated at various rates which are determined by the particular requirements and type of task undertaken in individual cases rather than on a specific rate per hour.
