RUSHES: Liberal Democrats online conference 2020: Ed Davey speech

Liberal Democrats online conference 2020: Ed Davey speech; ENGLAND: London: Westminster: Ed Davey speech SOT (3 of 6) - I was a carer as a son. And then as a grandson: Organising the care for my Nanna, getting her into a good home, figuring out how we could afford it. Trying to make her last few years as comfortable as we could. And now, as a father. As Emily and I care for our son John every day. John is 12. He can’t walk by himself. He was 9 when he first managed to say “Daddy”. John needs 24/7 care – and probably always will. And that’s my biggest challenge: John will be on this planet long after Emily and I have gone. So we worry. No one can possibly love him like we do. Hold him like we hold him. And our fears are shared by so many parents. Many not as fortunate as Emily and me. So let me say this, to all of you who need care, to all of you who are carers, to the parents of disabled children, to the thousands of young people, caring for your mum or your dad. I understand what you’re going through. And I promise you this: I will be your voice. I will be the voice of the 9 million carers in our country. It’s you I’m fighting for. Just like we Liberal Democrats did in Government, when we fought to tackle the funding crisis in adult social care. Through the Dilnot Commission and the Care Act, we carefully stitched together a cross-party agreement, based on the same values that underpin our NHS. Only to see the Conservatives rip it up as soon as they could. So now, more than a million people miss out on the care support they need. With people stranded in hospital, unable to leave, as the follow-up care isn’t there. With the challenge passed back to the NHS, already struggling for cash. You see, if Ministers really care about the NHS, they need to care about care. The cross-party talks on social care – long promised by Boris Johnson – cannot wait any longer. The Covid crisis makes the need to fix social care more urgent,...
