Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Caring for the Elderly.
Caring for the Elderly
The hon. Lady mentioned personalising care. A problem that has been around for a long time—and one, I have to say, that I picked up on while on the streets of Norwich, North only this week—relates to when people have a package of care. Elderly people do not want to find that they have to be put to bed at half-past 6 or 7 o'clock. Their care is not personalised; they are often in the hands of agencies, funded through social services, that do not personalise care packages, but treat elderly people as numbers.
