Proceeding contribution from Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Care Homes.


Care Homes

One reason why care homes' standards slip is changeover of staff. If we look at the figures, which I did not have time to discuss in my speech, we find that the turnover rate in the independent sector is almost 18 per cent.—17.9 per cent. If a care home has that turnover of staff all the time, it is difficult for the organisation to be consistent and to keep training the staff all to the same level.
