Personal Care at Home Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister. The reason for tabling amendments omitting the word "personal" was not to widen the scope for delivering free services to those living at home; it was rather to highlight the importance of defining "personal" in a way that did not exclude deafblind people. While I note what she said in relation to the guidance, I am a little doubtful that it will of itself be sufficient because the definition of "personal care" in the draft regulations that the Government have promulgated does not to my mind include the kinds of tasks and activities with which deafblind people typically require help.
