Proceeding contribution from Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Care Homes.
Care Homes
I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this timely debate, and I invite him to add a rural dimension to the problem regarding the availability of services. It is a patchy picture. Does he share my concern about the lack of elderly mentally infirm nursing places across much of rural Britain, and about the spectacle of families and relatives having to travel vast distances—sometimes hundreds of miles— to visit relatives who suffer from Alzheimer's? Does he agree that that is not ultimately sustainable, and should not be?
