| Annotation | Earlier in 2014, the United Kingdom Home Care Association published 'A minimum price for homecare' for the first time, which gave an estimated minimum price for homecare services of £15.19 per hour. This updated version provides calculations of a minimum price for homecare services to achieve compliance with the National Minimum Wage (£15.74), the UK Living Wage (£18.59 per hour) and the London Living Wage (£21.33 per hour). The estimates rest on the assumption that the price paid for care must cover the costs of the workforce, including the time spent travelling between service users' homes, holiday pay, and training and supervisory time.
