Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Carers.
Carers
There was a consensus following the Sutherland report, and it is disappointing that that was broken by the Government on financial grounds. There should be free nursing and social care, but people should have to pay for their accommodation once they get above a certain income threshold. If we had moved in that direction, we might have solved the problem.
