SUE RYDER CARE

Motion Text

That this House applauds Sue Ryder Care for the innovative neurological and palliative care services it provides in people's own homes, communities and specialist care centres; notes that its vision to provide care that liberates lives and activities are in line with the recommendations of the Health White Paper; and supports their We Care: Who Pays? campaign which highlights that the charity currently subsidises state commissioned services by £7 million each year through regional contacting, that this situation is unsustainable and that the voluntary sector will be hampered from playing a full role in the health and social care of the nation until primary care trusts and social services pay the true cost for the care they commission.
