Many people wrongly excluded from NHS care - Lamb
14 Apr 2008
Commenting on Age Concern's analysis today showing that many older people with serious health problems are paying for care that should be free, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Norman Lamb said:
"It is a travesty that many people are being wrongly excluded from NHS care. "Receiving continuing care is a core need, not an optional luxury for those who are able to raid life long savings.
"The new guidelines were meant to give older people the continuing care they are entitled to. This has clearly not been happening."
