You asked
I understand that as part of the Vivaldi study you asked care home managers the following question:
"Do you pay sick pay to your nurses and health care workers?
IF YES: Is that full/more than statutory or statutory?
With the following options:
Yes, full or more than statutory
Yes, statutory
No"
I am making a request under the Freedom of Information Act to see the answers to this question.
I would also like to request any information you have that shows how those answers correspond to rates of infection within the care homes.
We said
Thank you for your request.
The information you have requested is available via the following link: Vivaldi 1 COVID-19 Care Home Survey. Please see the worksheet labelled 'Question 9' in the Excel spreadsheet named Vivaldi Care Home Survey responses by question for your question of interest.
Please note, the survey is still ongoing and more results will be published at the earliest opportunity.
Unfortunately, we have not undertaken analysis regarding how those answers correspond to rate of infection within care homes. Therefore, we do not hold the information requested.
