Everyone receiving care services at
home should get them free, paid for out of general taxation, and not just those with the greatest needs covered
by today's
announcement, said Dot Gibson, general
secretary of the National Pensioners Convention.
It comes following an
announcement by communities
secretary Sajid Javid on Wednesday that some residents would be offered «newly built social housing» at the site on Warwick Road, where private
homes sell from # 1,575,000 to # 8.5 m.
