PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
FREE NURSING CARE AND THE RETENTION OF FEES (28 January 2002)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the Government's introduction of free nursing care for residents of nursing homes in England from 1st October 2001; notes with great concern reports that some nursing homes are withholding from individual residents funding received from the public purse intended for them; condemns the opportunistic actions of those home owners in appropriating taxpayers' money intended to help the most vulnerable members of society; and calls on them to take immediate steps to pass it on to the people to whom it rightfully belongs.
