Social Care Provision

EDM number 2046 in 2006-07, proposed by Graham Stuart on 08/10/2007.

That this House congratulates the East Riding of Yorkshire Council for having up to now maintained services to those with moderate needs under the Fair Access to Care Services scheme; notes that fewer than one third of local authorities are still providing this service; further notes that the East Riding of Yorkshire Council is increasing its spending on adult care but has nonetheless been forced to stop this service from 2008; and supports the Local Government Association in its campaign to see funding for social care being given priority in the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
