CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND THE BURGNER REPORT ON NATIONAL MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR CARE HOMES

Early day motion 1675, tabled 22 July 2002 by Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 21 members.

That this House notes the publication of the Burgner Report on 29th July 1996; further notes that the report set out proposals for reforming the system of regulation of care providers including national minimum standards and a national system of regulation; also notes that the report was signed by the honourable Member for West Chelmsford, the then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health; and regrets that the Conservative front-bench health team has forgotten that in Government it commissioned the Burgner Report, welcomes its recommendations and supported its passage into law.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 14, Labour 7.
