Care Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Rix (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [HL].

I fully understand the argument that the Government do not want a great list of what constitutes abuse. However, the Minister said earlier that it would be possible to give local authorities a batting order, as it were, of what is in legislation. I realise that abuse is covered in legislation, but would it be possible at least to make sure that local authorities do not suddenly think that only financial abuse is to be considered when they look at this Bill? That is all I am asking for.
