Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Knight of Collingtree (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 2 December 2009.
Dementia
- Question
- Would the Minister assure this House that respite care for carers is given a high priority? Carers have to bear a tremendous burden and they cannot do it all the time, every month, every year.
- Answer
-
The noble Baroness is absolutely right and that is part of the strategy. One of my neighbours, unfortunately, has Alzheimer’s disease; the respite care that her husband receives is vital to his welfare and therefore to her care.
