Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 14 October 2008 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Thornton (Labour).


Disabled People: Social Care

Answer

My Lords, the noble Baroness raises an important point. The consultation process involves the public and stakeholders—indeed, I am attending a public consultation this weekend—and precisely that issue has been raised. It is part of our consideration in the preparation of the Green Paper.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 14 October 2008 by Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative).

Question
My Lords, as the previous speaker raised the matter of employment, has the Minister taken into account the position of those disabled people who have remitting disabilities who go in and out of needing full-time care? They face great difficulties in getting help when the time comes for them to return to full-time care because of the great delays that occur. Is something being done to deal with that problem?
