I refer to your email dated 29 May 2017 seeking information on the Living Wage paid to adult care workers in the private sector, in terms of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

In response to your questions, I would confirm:

1. Please list all the care providers, in all sectors, that the council currently purchases adult care services from.

SEE ATTACHED

2. Additionally, please could you supply me with any information held by the council that confirms the minimum rate of pay provided to care workers by each adult care supplier paid by the council.

SEE ATTACHED

3. Where a care provider which is receiving payment from the council is not currently paying its workers the Living Wage please supply me with copies of all relevant correspondence between the provider and the council that references this issue.

All providers with whom the council is currently contracting with in relation to Adult Care Services has agreed to pay the Scottish Living Wage Rate of £8.25.
