Personal Care at Home Bill

My Lords, I would like to feel that those noble Lords who spoke so very ably to their individual amendments will be reassured by the noble Baroness’s answer, which I appreciated. This debate has shown the difficulty of enshrining in the Bill, or in regulations or in guidance, exactly what you want people to do. I was particularly swayed by the speeches of the noble Baronesses, Lady Greengross and Lady Barker, in relation to dementia. They made points that I hope very much the Minister will continue to bear strongly in mind as the policy is developed in the department. I also thought that the noble Lord, Lord Best, spoke extremely cogently to his amendment on aids and adaptations, which I fully support. I did not say so earlier as he had not yet risen to his feet. I take the opportunity of doing so now. It may be that we shall come back to these matters at a later stage but I think for now it is appropriate for me to beg leave to withdraw my amendment. Amendment 19 withdrawn. Amendment 20 not moved.
