My partner works in a care home, and was dropped to £95 a week wages during the periods when we had to self-isolate (once with symptoms, once on the advice of doctors). My partner has also been forced to take annual leave as the care home has seen a drop in revenue.

So, it cheered my partner up when the news of the £500 bonus to Welsh Care Home staff was announced a number of weeks ago. However, the payment has been delayed because the UK Government intends to impose tax and NI contributions on the bonus (essentially taxing the Welsh Senedd).
