Digital Britain

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Digital Britain.
My right hon. Friend's statement was strong on improving the infrastructure, but he was less explicit about how we are going to drive forward the services that sit on top of that infrastructure. May I highlight to him telecare and assisted technology? There is no reason why people who have a social care need—older people and those with chronic illnesses—cannot be made more comfortable and safer by using those services. Will he ensure that the forthcoming social care Green Paper takes advantage of the infrastructure that he has laid out to the House today?
