Care Markets

The Orders of St John Care Trust delivered a strong performance for the year to 31 March 2015. There was an overall increase of 8.7% in total incoming resources from £99.6m to £108.3m. Net income for the year jumped from £2.6m to £13.5m. The results were boosted by the successful sale of two freehold care homes.

An report by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) revealed last month that care workers could be in line for back pay totalling £340,000.
