As I have mentioned, I will write to my MP expressing my views on the discrepancy of funding between state funded patients and self funders, and see what he has to say, and he's in the Conservative Party, the new ruling party. But I will also write to Liz Kendall of the Labour Party, the MP for Leicester West and whose national profile has increased during the past week since the Election, due to her announcing that she will stand to be Ed Miliband's successor as leader of the Labour Party. Liz Kendall has been, and still is, the Shadow Health Minister since 2010, the year she entered Parliament, and the following year she was given specific responsibility as Shadow Minister for Care and Older People. Whilst I haven't had the time to look in to what her views are about her portfolio I think it would be worth contacting her about care home fees and see if she has ideas about a fairer system, that might include a cap on fees, etc. Whilst the Labour Party are going to be in opposition for the next five years there are parliamentary committees of cross party MPs that work to draw up legislation and pass laws. Therefore, contacting any MP about this specific topic of care home fees can be worthwhile, and somebody like Liz Kendall, due to the position she's held for the last five years, could be influential. I realize that the path to resolve this issue is not a simple one, and, to be fair, not easy for the private care homes to change their ways either, at least for those among them who wish to exact a fairer system, but unless people like us make noises about it, then change will not come about.
