Labour leadership hopeful Monica Lennon vows to end care home dementia tax

Derek Feeley’s report made over 50 recommendations for changes in the sector. Alzheimer Scotland wants Fair Dementia Care introduced independently of the Feeley report. They anticipate that, if accepted, the recommendations will take several years to fully implement but that Fair Dementia Care is more urgent and can be done quickly with the required political backing. Last month the Scottish Government agreed a 7.5 per cent increase in the Free Personal and Nursing Care payments which are paid towards the costs of those living in care homes.  Alzheimer Scotland estimates that people with advanced dementia are paying for care costs of around £50.9 million every year.
