Care Homes: CCTV

The following are extracts from a Westminster Hall debate on Care Homes: CCTV on 5 September 2018:

The Minister for Care (Caroline Dinenage)
We also expect those providing the service, local authorities and the Care Quality Commission to take swift action where anyone alleges poor care, neglect or abuse. We have backed that up with more than £9 billion of investment in the sector in the past three years, which equates to an 8% increase in funding. That incredible amount of money highlights the challenge we face in the sector.
