Proceeding contribution from Sarah Wollaston (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 understand the need for the timetable to allow for adequate consultation, but Andrew Dilnot's excellent report draws attention to several areas including a lack of transparency, a lack of information available to families making decisions about care homes and, in particular, a lack of portability, which results in many patients being trapped and unable to move closer to loved ones. Does the Secretary of State feel that he could expedite any of the report's recommendations to allow such proposals to receive more detailed consideration?
