Right To Care Campaign (EDM47)

Right To Care Campaign

EDM number 47 in 2004-05, proposed by Paul Burstow on 23/11/2004.

That this House supports the Right to Care Campaign; believes that the 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; notes that a petition of 100,000 signatures has been presented to 10 Downing Street; is concerned that distinguishing between personal and nursing care is impractical and unworkable; further believes that these differences in policy between regions of the United Kingdom are creating major disparities in the type and levels of care available to elderly and disabled people; welcomes the statement of the Royal Commissioners that called on the Government to reconsider its rejection of free personal care; 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 United Kingdom.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
