Proceeding contribution from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Dementia Services.


Dementia Services

None of us wants people entering care prematurely, but the Secretary of State needs to distinguish between those who are elderly and those who have some form of dementia, because if they do not have carers who can care for them at home, by definition they will be driven into residential care at some point.
