Where do:Ian Levy MP, Guy Opperman MP and Anne-Marie Trevelyan MP sit on this very damaging Central Policy Change?

 

PM Johnson’s care plans will 'disproportionately 'benefit the wealthy in Darras Hall and Cleadon whilst attacking homeowners in Blyth Valley, Berwick,Wansbeck and Wallsend!

A report in the mainstream press claims that one of the reasons for the Government's delay in announcing its plans for the reform of social care is a Whitehall row over the Prime Minister's preferred option, which internal modelling shows could "disproportionately" benefit the wealthy. 

 Both Conservative MPs and Treasury officials, the papers report, have raised fears that regional variations in property prices could mean residents in areas like the northern "Red Wall" seats may still have to sell their homes to cover the cost of care, while internal Department of Health and Social Care modelling last year found that people in the south east would see more financial benefit from the changes than those in the north east. 

The changes are solely linked to property values at your time of need.

These changes which will be run out straight after the current crop of elections are fully supported by Northumberland and North-East Tories as they benefit the residents of Darras Hall and Cleadon whilst damaging the future for residents of Prudhoe, Hartlepool, South-East Northumberland and the coastal and rural coalfield areas of the region.

We here at Murky believe this is why the Tories are fully supportive of the breakup of the Northumberland Care Trust partnership in September 2021 while otherNorth-East councils and MP’s are rallying against these draconian changes to safeguard the majority of their residents.
