Fair Pay vs Cunning Election Stunts
I'm afraid it’s not correct to say that Scottish Ministers are prevented from boosting the pay of workers outside of the public sector - because the £500 Covid bonus applied to care home workers in the independent, voluntary and public sectors.

I had to correct this opinion piece in The Herald because all staff in Scotland's social care sector were entitled to a £500 Covid bonus including those working in independent and voluntary care homes.
So where there's a will there's always way unless this is just another election stunt of course.
