Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

That is particularly the case for the elderly, because as the body ages it does not absorb so well key minerals and vitamins from food, and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals in the elderly can lead to serious health consequences. That applies regardless of whether the elderly are cared for at home with a social care package, in residential or nursing homes or in hospital, where during longer stays there can be serious consequences.
