AIDS AND ADAPTATIONS IN SHEFFIELD

Early day motion 2116, tabled 21 July 2008 by Clive Betts (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House welcomes the £2.4 million additional funding made available by the NHS to Sheffield City Council; recognises the importance of providing elderly people and people with disabilities with aids and adaptations to enable them to stay in their own homes; is therefore concerned at the wait of 18 months or longer which many people in Sheffield are experiencing before necessary adaptations are carried out; and condemns Sheffield City Council's refusal to spend the £2.4 million of NHS money immediately to ensure that elderly and disabled people with recognised needs get the services they deserve.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, DUP 1, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
