Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Lansley (Conservative), on Friday, 4 March 2005, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 115 members in total.
ALZHEIMER'S CARE
That this House expresses its deep concern at the continuing crisis in care for the elderly and in particular those who suffer from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia; notes that the Government's current definition of nursing care fails to include nursing care that is provided by trained care staff specialised in providing nursing care to dementia sufferers; is concerned that the Government has drawn the definition of nursing care particularly tightly, thereby excluding many aspects of care; is further concerned at the considerable uncertainty and fear that is currently being generated amongst those who care for Alzheimer's sufferers due to the possible withdrawal of drugs in respect of which there is no alternative medication; and urges the National Institute for Clinical Excellence fully to reflect the evidence of clinical benefit for users and carers in determining a final recommendation on drug therapies for Alzheimer's.
