Care Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 December 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [Lords].

I think that is precisely the point my hon. Friend the Member for Bridgend (Mrs Moon) was making. The money simply is not there in local government. When 20% of the adult services budget has been lost, the services are not there and the care managers are not there to do the assessment to decide whether to keep people at home or to help them get out of hospital. The service back in the community, after people have come out of hospital, is not there either. Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that that money has to go back in?
