Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Adults with Learning Disabilities
Has the hon. Gentleman given any thought to the role played by parents who look after an adult son or daughter with learning difficulties and the pressure is on them? If they die, what will be the additional cost of looking after their child outside what has been their traditional home? To my mind, carers are under immense pressure, and I say to the Minister that, without them, this country would be in grave difficulty. I pay full tribute to the carers of those with learning difficulties. How might we help those carers—for example, are there sufficient facilities to give them the respite care that they need from time to time?
