Proceeding contribution from Stephen Dorrell (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
I would be grateful if the hon. Lady corrected the hon. Member for South Thanet (Dr. Ladyman) on the timing of the introduction of direct payments. I refer her to page 33 of the document that she published yesterday, which features an entirely accurate time line saying:""Direct payments introduced offering disabled people more control to buy directly the services they want"," with an arrow pointing at the year 1996. I invite her to remember who were the Government at that time.
