Care England is calling for the next prime minister to set a 15-per-hour minimum wage.

There are currently over 152,000 vacant posts, 430,000 people on care waiting lists and scores of facilities are rated inadequate in the care system.

The demand represents a clear challenge to Keir Starmer whose Labour party is on course to form the next government.
