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

That is the point—you have to look at each person’s issues and problems. With cancer, reablement might be appropriate, because someone might be in remission for a long time, so reablement might be exactly the right thing to offer. On the other hand, it might not be, because the illness is terminal and what is needed is palliative support as an end-of-life strategy.
