| Annotation | The Conservative Party representative claims that more people 'are making more provision for a prosperous retirement ... for independence, choice and dignity'. In contrast, the Labour Party view is that the challenge of long-term care can be met if governments plan intelligently for the future, and avoid narrow, ideological agendas. The Liberal Democratic suggests that real change and enduring solutions will only come from the widest possible debate and the broadest possible consensus. Subsequent discussion asked whether the Government's partnership scheme only benefits the well-off; and would the Labour Party set up a Royal Commission to examine the subject of long-term care. |
