7:04 am
[shouting] can we start by wishing everyone a happy christmas and a prosperous new year. sadly, mr. speaker, our late colleague jo cox will not be celebrating christmas this year with her family. she was nurtured and taken from us so i hope the prime minister and i'm sure she will join the encouraging to download a songs which many members help to create as a tribute to joe's life and work an everlasting memory out there. >> the right honorable gentleman is right to raise this issue. i'm sure everyone in this house will send a clear message. download this signal for the jo cox foundation. it's a very important cause. we all recognize jo cox is a fine member of this house and would've carried on contributing significantly to this house and country had she not been brutally murdered. i think everybody's involved in
7:05 am
it impact and assessment of photographs later this afternoon. [shouting] and once again, let's encourage everybody to download the single. >> for those observing the outside parliamentary rock band and paid for. >> jeremy corbin. >> to the benefit of the quality i'm not a member of the good i think the prime minister for that answer, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, social care is crucial. to provide support for people to live with dignity, yet speak u.k. researchers found that 1.2 million people currently not receiving the care they need. with the prime minister accept
7:06 am
there is a crisis and social care? >> i consistently sent in this house we recognize the pressure and social care. it might be helpful if i send out but the government is doing in relation to social care. we recognize those pressures. that's where the government is putting my money for better care funded by the end of the department will be billions billions of pounds extra. that's why we've been able to present for local authorities. we recognize there are immediate pressures on social care. that's why this'll be addressed by my right honorable friend, secretaries tape and the local government finance tomorrow. we also recognized this is not just about money. it is about delivery. there's a difference across the country. we need to make sure reform is taking place of escape as part is in terms of health and social care across the country but we also need to ensure that we have
7:07 am
a longer-term solution to give people reassurance for the future that there is if dana both the stem to ensure they are receiving social care they need in old age. that is what the government is working on. short-term issues and medium-term need to deliver consistently in a long-term solution we need to find. >> jeremy corbin. >> the care quality commission has warned as early as october that that everything we suggest the tipping point and instead of passing the buck on local government commissioned the government take responsibility itself for the crisis? could the prime minister take this opportunity to inform the house exactly how much was cut from social care budget in the last parliament? >> we have been putting more money into social care. we've been putting more money into social care enough.
7:08 am
we recognize the pressures that exist in that misfire will be looking at the short-term pressures that exist in relation to social care. he cannot look at this question of simply being an issue of money in the short term. it is about delivery. it is about reform and social care system working with the health system. that is why this is an issue being addressed not just the secretary of state, but also the secretary of state for health. if we are going to give people reassurance they need in the longer term that their social care needs will be met. this isn't just about looking for a short-term solution. it's finding a way forward for a sustainable system for the future. >> mr. speaker, the prime minister doesn't seem to be aware that 4.6 billion was cut from the social care budget in the last parliament and put it onto local government ought to be taken for what it is peer 2%
7:09 am
of capital taxes clearly nonsense. 95% of councils use the social care preset and raise less than 3% of the money they plan to spend on adult social care. billions available for tax giveaways to corporations not mentioned in the statement underfunded and healthy people left the isolated and in christ is because of the lack of government funding of social care. >> we see many councils around the country that have taken the social care preset and as a result the more people being able to access social care needs being met. sadly there is also councils across the country where we do see a worse performance in relation to social care. the right honorable judge that refers to the issue of iv.
7:10 am
i might remind him at the last election the chancellor said there'll be not a penny more for local authorities and also when recently asked about spending more money, the health secretary said when he was asked for the money would come from, he said we're going to have to come up with a plan for that. >> mr. speaker, this government has cut social care that she well knows the effects of that. she also well knows that raising council tax has a different outcome in different areas of the country. for example if you raise the council tax in winthrop, you get quite a lot of money. if you raise the council tax and liverpool or newcastle come you get a lot less. issue saying the older people come the frail elderly
7:11 am
vulnerable people are less valuable in our big cities than they are in wealthier parts? mr. speaker, this crisis is a crisis that may alter the people living in a difficult situation because of this. it's also a crisis for the national health service. those people in hospitals cannot be discharged because there's nowhere for them to go to. so i will ask her again, the crisis affects individuals, families of the national health service. why doesn't she do something really bold? cancel the corporation tax cut and put the money into social care instead. >> the right honorable gentleman in the next bit is set. i to say newcastle council is the council will be sought in september virtually no delay discharges.
7:12 am
out of the people were not being held accountable when they didn't need to be. so what it shows as it is possible for council to deliver on the ground. you see councils like dealing not using the social care preset and different result. the difference between the worst-performing consular relations to that discharges is a 20 fold difference. that's not a bad difference of funding. that's about a difference of delivering. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, councils required to cope with a 40% cut in their budget of the whole country and the people who pay the price of those stuck in hospital who should be allowed to go home and those that are getting the care and support they need. this is a social care system deep in crisis. the crisis is made in downing street by this government. the former chair of the health
7:13 am
select committee says the system is inadequately funded. the current chair of the house select committee says the issue can't be any longer for the impact it's having not just on vulnerable people but also on the nhs. why can't the prime minister listened to those in local government to the king's son, nhs confederation from their own council leader and recognize the social care crisis forces people to give up part to care for loved ones because there is an assistant to do it. makes people stay in half longer than they initiative leads people into into a horrible isolated life when they should be cared for by all of us are properly funded social care system. get a grip and fund it properly, please. [shouting] >> the issue of social care is indeed one being dubbed by governments for too long to display it is this government
7:14 am
that will provide a blog term sustainable system for social care that gives reassurance to people. when it talks about government donkey, must look about 13 years in favor of government. [cheers and applause] they said in 1997 in their manifestoes they had a real commission in 1999. a green paper in 2005. in 2007 they said they thought it did in 2009 they had another green paper. 13 years and no action whatsoever. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, should a constituent of mine was struggled to get to university
7:15 am
college for life-saving cancer. thousands of others will be unable to get to work, school, college because they object -- we are driving trains on the same route operating. can the prime minister gave her assurance that everything will be done today too and this nonsense, dressed in a residual safety issues and give our constituents their lives back? >> my honorable friend is absolutely right to raise this issue. he is right to raise the discrepancy in attitude. racing driver on the operated trains and rail networks in the u.k. for decades. i hope the talks are arguing to the tune into this straight. but i've got a suggestion for the leader of the opposition.
7:16 am
the leader of the opposition could do something to help members of the public. the labor party is spending. by disney get on the phone and tell them to call the strike off? [shouting] >> mr. speaker, we joined the leader of the labour party and with the prime minister and wish him great success to single available for download on friday. they will all download will all download it. civilians have suffered grievously in the bottoms by means of hospitals, schools, markets, and the united nations barely 60% of civilian casualties are caused by airstrikes. in the last 24 hours the united states has stopped the supply of possession guided munitions to
7:17 am
saudi arabia to bobby yemen. when will the u.k. follow suit? >> is the right honorable gentleman does we do have a strict regime and expert licenses in relation to the united kingdom. we exercise that very carefully and in recent years we have indeed refused licenses in relation including to yemen and saudi arabia. the >> u.s. government has just said, and i quote from ssm estimates of a problem in saudi arabia is targeting showed the u.s. decision to halt a future weapons involving decision guided munitions. the saudis have u.k. supplied per session guided missiles made in scotland. the u.k. has licensed 3.3 billion pounds worth of arms to saudi arabia since the beginning of the bombing campaign.
7:18 am
what will it take for the u.k. to adopt an ethical foreign policy? [shouting] >> is the right honorable gentleman knows the intervention in yemen is a u.s. backed intervention. as i said previously whether allegations of riches national humanitarian law requires us to be properly investigated. we do have a relationship with saudi arabia and the security of the gulf is important to them. i simply remind the honorable gentleman that saudi intelligence and counterterrorism, the intelligence in saudi arabia by sage essentially hundreds of lives here in the u.k. the >> mr. speaker, one of my constituents in such a move to residential care because no care could be found in her own home pages at the sharp end of the crisis and social care that the inadequate funding as it is about a shortfall in our valued
7:19 am
social care workforce. i am looking forward to hearing what the media for this support will be provided for social care. but it's that time rather than have a dialogue about social care funding that all parties work together to look for a sustainable long-term solution with funding of integrated health and social care. >> my honorable friend is right to raise the issue of looking at a sustainable way at which we can support integrated health and social care and sustainable way for people to know in the future they'll have the social care they require. as i said earlier, we recognize the short-term pressures there are the system. it's important for us to look at media and long-term solutions to address this issue and i was pleased to have a meeting with my honorable friend to discuss this last week and i look forward to such big names.
7:20 am
>> cannot tell the prime minister that a cross party delegation led by the honorable member will meet the russian ambassador tomorrow morning on a lap belt and we will reflect precisely the sort of turns fishy in the foreign secretary abused about russia, the 76ers shamed and iran. we want to protect those who have heroically struggled and who would be a particular race because of the weakness they can get. does she expect many of us believed those messages are more cogent went equally on the privacy of human rights and international humanitarian when we meet the falsity. >> we do raise the issues of human rights that is absolutely right in relation to the role russia is playing in syria there is a very simple message to president putin. he has it within his own hands
7:21 am
to be able to say to the assad regime that enough is enough another. the people i've had the honorable john bowman heroically meet the lives of others ensure that they have their security. i'm sure that's a message she and others will be giving to the russian ambassador. he can do it. why doesn't it? >> on the same subject, with the prime minister join me in thanking the many members on all sides of this house and created in order to pay the salaries of the medical staff in aleppo since our hospital was shot a few weeks ago, we have been buying prosthetic limbs with all of our money. we have a waiting list of 30,000 people. make sure it gets to the most
