BETTER AT HOME CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1281, tabled 31 March 2008 by Tom Clarke (Labour). Signed by 83 members.

That this House welcomes the Better at Home campaign launched by WellChild and the Royal College of Nursing to bring attention to the disparity in service provision across England for children and young people with long-term complex care needs and their families; further welcomes the campaign's call for timely and effective care packages to be delivered at home for children and young people with long-term complex health care needs ensuring that their health, social care and education needs are met; and supports the call for greater financial investment in the provision of specialist children's nurses to work specifically with this group of vulnerable children and young people to bridge the gap between hospital and community services.
