Proceeding contribution from Norman Lamb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Personal Care at Home Bill.


Personal Care at Home Bill

It is probably unlikely that a local authority would change the criteria to remove free care from those in the most critical need—given that we are discussing that category. Will the Secretary of State confirm that approximately 110,000 additional people, on top of those who currently receive free care—both younger and older adults—would benefit from the Bill, and that the 400,000 figure is not an accurate reflection of the number who would benefit?
