Lord O'Shaughnessy
My noble friend is absolutely right, which is why there must be a balance between what is paid by individuals and by the taxpayer through the state.
Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)
My Lords, are my ears deceiving me, or did the Minister talk about a sustainable social care system in England? If so, he ought to talk to some people who are seeking social care at the moment, because they and their families think the current system is not sustainable.
Lord O’Shaughnessy
What I said was that we need a sustainable system, and that will be the goal of the Green Paper.
