PERSONAL MOBILITY IN STATE-FUNDED CARE

Early day motion 2374, tabled 3 November 2011 by Peter Bottomley (Conservative). Signed by 20 members.

That this House welcomes the Low Review, prompted by Mencap and Leonard Cheshire Disability, into personal mobility in residential care; notes its quotation that `people in residential care should have the same entitlement as anyone else to exercise choice and control over their care and how they live' from the Government's November 2010 A Vision for Adult Social Care; accepts the need to be able to fulfil aspirations including mobility whether in a parent's home, a home in the community or in a residential home; and further welcomes the seven recommendations including that disabled people living in state-funded residential care should be eligible to receive the mobility component on the same basis as disabled people receiving care in their own homes.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
