HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRIVATELY RUN CARE HOMES

Early day motion 577, tabled 13 December 2007 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House is concerned about the recent judgement of the House of Lords regarding the human rights of residents of privately-run care homes in the UK; believes that whilst it was never the intention of either the British Government nor European legislation that any care home resident should suffer in this way, the fact is that they have; and calls upon the Government immediately to bring forward legislative proposals to correct this serious and unfair anomaly forthwith.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 7, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
