Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative) 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

I support the idea of a pilot scheme, but if it is introduced, it is important that it covers widely differing areas. I am told that, for example, in Buckinghamshire, the majority of people meet their own costs and yet, perhaps, in Dagenham, they do not. It is very important that any pilot scheme should cover a wide range of areas, to give an assessment of the different situations that occur.
