I urge the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer, to accept these amendments to provide some security and safeguards for those who will live and die in our care and nursing homes. If he is reluctant to do so, what controls will he introduce to protect the old, the isolated, the lonely and the vulnerable? I am afraid it will not be enough to answer me by saying that that is the job of the CQC. What will the Minister do to address the problems and risk that will exist in our care and nursing homes?
