The Care Services sector significantly outperforms the UK average in payment performance, suggesting a greater commitment to timely payments than many other industries. However, the data also reveals a wide disparity within the sector, as while the average score is good, there is a significant range between the highest and lowest payers.
Regional payment averages are somewhat skewed by small sample sizes. Wales has the highest average at 90.3, but this is based on data from only one company. The North West (86.0), Yorkshire and The Humber (84.3), and the North East (83.2) all indicate relatively good payment practices compared to the UK average, but with only 4-9 companies represented, it's hard to draw broad conclusions. late payment calculator
Care Services companies outperform the national average, but with Mears Group PLC scoring a dismal 32.2, it is clear there's a long way to go until consistently fair payment practices are seen across the entire sector.
