ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND AGM
THE GREAT HALL – WINCHESTER
TUESDAY 14th OCTOBER 2008
LONG TERM CARE
An estimated 40,000 people per year have to sell their houses to pay for their long term care. And charging for long term care has not been out of the top five concerns of older people in Hampshire since we began compiling the charts some ten years ago. In August last year a report by the Joint Committee on Human Rights highlighted a catalogue of abuse and neglect of older people in hospitals and residential care. Now some eight years after the Royal Commission on Long Term Care reported the Government has promised a Green Paper this summer. And this conference will consider that paper.
