The salary scale for full-time home helps with effect from 1 July 1997 is in the range of £212.98 — £225.19 per week. This is the same rate as applies in the health services to group 1 non officer grades. This scale applies throughout the country and is increased from time to time in accordance with increases granted to non-nursing personnel.
