Funding Care Of Dementia Sufferers

EDM number 415 in 2002-03, proposed by Alan Meale on 18/12/2002.

That this House recognises that the majority of families care for relatives suffering with dementia at home, is concerned, however, that under present arrangements, when they eventually agree their loved ones' needs would be better met by professional nursing care, they will not receive the assessed rate of free nursing care direct, it instead being paid to nursing home owners; notes that such arrangements have merely led to the majority of owners simply increasing fees to justify extra payments; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to reassess its policy on the funding of long-term care and to agree to fund nursing care in residential settings to stop such abuse of public funds.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
