Care and Support

Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Care and Support.

My constituent who has been campaigning on portability of care packages outwith England will be extremely disappointed, because

he was given to understand in correspondence from the Secretary of State that this would be covered in the White Paper and it clearly has not been. While we are thinking about Scotland, does the Secretary of State accept that the problem will not be solved even by shifting some of the costs of care from the individual to the state? We have had free personal care in Scotland for some years, but it has not resolved the problems because no additional money was put into the system.
