Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (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. Gentleman has said that pensioners are better off, but we have had 12 years of economic growth so of course they are—although still far too many are in poverty. Does he agree that social care received only a 1 per cent. increase in the Treasury's spending provisions, which in real terms was a cut? It was separated from NHS spending, but should not the two be joined together in future?
