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


Dementia Services

I am happy to give the hon. Gentleman that figure, too. The sums are not that difficult. It does not take a doctor of mathematics to do them: £670 million minus £420 million gives £250 million. Local authorities can find that sum through efficiency savings in their delivery of care services for people in the most need, not least by reducing the numbers who have to go into residential care, because they will be supporting people living in their own homes, which is where they want to be.
