ALZHEIMER'S SOCIETY CAMPAIGN TO END CHARGING FOR ESSENTIAL HEALTHCARE
EDM number 1621 in 2003-04, proposed by Lynne Jones on 08/09/2004.
That this House recognises that people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia have a physical disease of the brain and that their care needs result directly from that disease; notes that the Government's current definition of nursing care fails to include nursing care provided by care staff such as healthcare assistants specialised in providing nursing care to people with dementia; supports the campaign of the Alzheimer's Society to end charging for nursing and personal care for people with dementia; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government urgently to review its policy on charging for nursing and personal care.
This motion has been signed by a total of 124 MPs.
