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

The noble Lord has not got the decimal point in the wrong place. The figures work. I am not sure what other information the noble Lord wants. I am happy to write to him with much more information. Four hundred thousand people will benefit; 130,000 will receive re-enablement; 110,000 will receive free care for the first time; and 170,000 will receive care entirely or partially free, based on a means test, and will continue to do so. The 280,000 figure plus the 130,000 figure add up to 400,000.
