Charter for care

Article Abstract:

The Labour party does not believe that individuals should be forced to pay for more of their long-term care requirements, according to Labour MP Alan Milburn. The party believes that is necessary to undertake a wide-ranging reform of the present system of long-term care, thus abolishing the anomalies and contradictions which currently exist. Specifically, it is time to establish a national framework which states the eligibility criteria for long-term care.
