Proceeding contribution from Phil Hope (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Personal Care at Home Bill.
Personal Care at Home Bill
I will give way in one moment, but I was thrown quotes criticising the Bill, and I am going to throw back some quotes from stakeholders who support it. The president of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, Jenny Owen, said of the Green Paper and the Bill:""Today's announcement is an important and valued first step on that road"," meaning the road to creating a national care service. Mike Padgham, chairman of UKHCA, said:""We welcome the Prime Minister's high-level commitment to homecare and look forward to the detail of how people will be able to access free personal care. Home-based care is an excellent service which keeps many people out of hospital and…enables people to return to their communities quickly following hospital discharge.""
