Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Cotes (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 thank the Secretary of State for his statement and I welcome the Dilnot review. As other Members have said, however, hundreds of thousands of families across the country are already worrying about how they will pay for care bills for their relatives, including the Strachan family in my constituency, who said publicly this morning that they have only two months' money left to pay care home bills and are not sure what they will do after that. When my right hon. Friend launches the consultation, may I urge him not to forget the needs of those already in the care system who are worrying about paying bills, as well as being rightly concerned about those facing future care bills?
