Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reform of Social Care.


Reform of Social Care

I welcome the fact that the Secretary of State has gone wider than the Dilnot report today. It was at least two years ago that the Commission for Social Care Inspection, the regulator, called for wider powers to deal with financial regulation, and it is very welcome that that is to happen. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the level at which the cap is set under the Dilnot regime will be important in deciding whether an insurance market can develop? If it is set too low, the risk that is being shared will not be great enough, and if it is set too high, it will be too expensive.
