Tabled by Sir Lindsay Hoyle (Speaker)

The motion
That this House notes with concern the current imbalance in health provisions for the elderly; expresses its concern at the postcode lottery which means that in some areas of the country one in 20,000 have their care home bill funded by the National Health Service; also notes with concern the estimate by Age Concern that 75,000 people who should have their bills paid are being forced to meet their own costs; and calls on the Government to redress this imbalance in health provisions for the elderly.
