Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Methuen (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 8 March 2007.
Care Homes: Funding
- Question
- My Lords, is the Minister aware that Staffordshire County Council intends to shut all its council-run homes? Do the Government support this move?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am not aware of the case of Staffordshire. Clearly, these matters must be the concern of the local authority. The question is not so much whether there are local authority homes, or how many, as whether there are sufficient care home places in the county of Staffordshire to meet the needs of people living there. That has to be a matter for local decision.
