[Until 7.00 pm]
|
|
| |
DEMENTIA SERVICES AND CARE OF THE ELDERLY
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House wishes to see the quality of life improve for the 700,000 people in the UK with dementia; pays tribute to
their families and carers and all those who campaign and fundraise for dementia charities; is concerned about the findings
published in the National Audit Office report on Improving dementia services in England, HC 82, that showed the Government
had failed to implement robustly the Dementia Strategy; calls on the Government to publish the report of the Nutrition Action
Plan Delivery Board, which was submitted in July 2009, and in particular to respond to the inappropriate tube feeding of those
in dementia care; deplores the inappropriate use of anti-psychotic drugs in the care of those with dementia; is concerned
that 50,000 elderly people are forced to sell their home every year to pay for their long-term care; is concerned that the
effect of the Personal Care at Home Bill will not help those with dementia in residential care; calls on the Government to
prioritise research to combat dementia; proposes that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence assess the
wider societal value of treatments in its appraisals; and further calls on the Government to adopt a social care insurance
model for residential care costs and to recognise dementia within a wider reform of social care.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Dementia services and care of the elderly):
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 3, leave out from ‘charities’ to end and add ‘welcomes the Dementia Strategy launched in 2009 which contains a programme of
work to transform services for those with dementia over five years and is backed by funding of £150 million over two years;
notes that the Government will shortly publish the report of the Nutrition Action Plan Delivery Board; rejects the use of
tube feeding on any grounds other than clinical need; welcomes the independent clinical review of anti-psychotic drugs which
contains recommendations for the reduction in the use of these drugs for people with dementia; further welcomes the appointment
of a National Clinical Director for dementia to promote better care and provide leadership for the implementation of the strategy;
welcomes the creation of a Ministerial group to develop dementia research; recognises that the enactment of the Personal Care
at Home Bill will help some 400,000 people with the highest need; supports the Government’s proposals to create the National
Care Service, the first national, universal, entitlement-based system for care and support in England; and acknowledges that
the Government’s Dignity in Care campaign is working to engage local people in a social movement and to put dignity of those
in care at the heart of services.’.
|
|
| |
OUT-OF-HOURS NHS SERVICES AND URGENT CARE
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House supports family doctors as the bedrock of healthcare services in the NHS; recognises the need for high-quality
out-of-hours care; believes in simpler, reliable access to urgent care and primary care on a 24 hours a day, seven days a
week basis; regrets that the Government’s 2004 GP contract has not achieved this and has in many places divorced GPs from
the service provided to their patients; is concerned that services are variable and the burden on accident and emergency services
has increased as a result; is deeply concerned by failures in the out-of-hours system; calls on the Government to allow GPs
to take responsibility for commissioning of both out-of-hours care and urgent care services; and further calls on the Government
to publish its report on out-of-hours services which has been submitted to the Department of Health.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Out-of-hours NHS services and urgent care):
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 2, leave out from ‘NHS’ to end and add ‘welcomes the improvements in out-of-hours and urgent care services over the last 12
years; notes that the Carson report in 2000 identified the need for the reform of out-of-hours care which was carried out
in 2004; further notes that by the start of 2004 only five per cent. of patients saw their own GP out of hours; acknowledges
that GP organisations say that they do not want a return to the system which existed in 1997; understands the continuing need
to improve the quality of out-of-hours care; notes that the Government commissioned the first national out-of-hours benchmark
to help primary care trusts and providers improve the quality and productivity of out-of-hours services and to reduce local
variation; recognises the improvement in healthcare after the introduction of the GP contract in 2004, which has significantly
extended weekend and evening opening of surgeries for routine, bookable appointments; recognises that over 77 per cent. of
GP practices now offer extended opening hours and that every primary care trust is developing a new GP-led health centre,
open from 8 am until 8 pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year; and welcomes plans for people who need urgent care to be able
to dial 111 for advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week.’.
