SUE RYDER CARE

Early day motion 1906, tabled 26 June 2008 by Ian Gibson (Labour). Signed by 68 members.

That this House recognises the key role played by the third sector in providing valuable specialised care services; praises the work of organisations such as Sue Ryder Care, which develop innovative solutions to providing these services and meeting the needs of local communities; and calls upon the Government to support Sue Ryder Care and other specialist voluntary providers by ensuring that they are paid the true cost for the basic services they provide on behalf of the state, so that their voluntary funds can be used to help them innovate further.
