Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 February 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Personal Care at Home Bill.


Personal Care at Home Bill

Our estimate is that 400,000 people will benefit. The estimate is not that 400,000 people will have all their care costs met: that figure is likely to be between 100,000 and 130,000 people. However, within the envelope of support in terms of reablement and the support that people could receive, our estimate, which has not been significantly challenged, is that 400,000 people would benefit from the programme.
