Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dementia Sufferers.


Dementia Sufferers

On raising the quality of respite care, does my hon. Friend agree that it is not strictly a cost issue, but a regulation issue? The discussion I had with local carers about quality standards raised a question about regulating to minimum standards. When the homes that were being complained about in my constituency were checked, they were at minimum standards and then they slipped below them between times. The problem is regulation, rather than cost.
