Right To Care Campaign

EDM number 221 in 2002-03, proposed by Paul Burstow on 27/11/2002.

That this House supports the Right to Care Campaign; believes that the formation of a campaign grouping involving 20 major campaign groups, charities and trade unions is testament to the depth of feeling surrounding the issue of long-term care felt by the members of these organisations and by many members of the public; is concerned that distinguishing between personal and nursing care is impractical and will prove unworkable; further believes that these differences in policy between regions of the UK are creating major disparities in the type and levels of care available to elderly and disabled people; and urges the Government fully to fund personal and nursing care that is free at the point of use for all who need long-term care, wherever they live throughout the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
