Today I signed up to the Right care, Right Deal pledge.
Right care, Right deal is the campaign to achieve the right solution for social care in England.
We want a future where people can live their lives, their way; supported by a care system which is better funded through a clear, simple and sustainable deal, entered into by the state, community, family and individuals.

Giles McNeill, Conservative Candidate for West Lindsey District Council, said:
"Many of the people of Grange-de-Lings, Greetwell, Nettleham and Riseholme are reliant on social care services in their day to day lives. The term 'social care' covers a huge range of services from care homes and meals on wheels to fostering services and drop-in centres. West Lindsey District Council contributes to delivering these services for local residents.Paul Cann, Head of Policy at Help the Aged, said:
"I believe social care should be about supporting people to live a better life, expanding their opportunities, not just managing their needs.
"If elected on May 1st, I will work hard to achieve a reinvigorated vision for social care, ensuring we have a personalised, easy to understand and accessible system for all."
"I'm pleased to welcome Giles to our campaign. Right care Right deal is the new joint national campaign launched to build public awareness and support for brave and innovative solutions for the social care system."

Campaign Diary - Monday 14th April 2008
I went out this morning and walked around the village delivering some literature about the many positive things Conservative across West Lindsey have been doing in recent months and what we will do for local residents if we are the majority after May 1st.
I spoke to one lady who raised with me the issue of speeding traffic along Deepdale Lane. It is hard to believe that the two district councillors and one county councillor, who are all Liberal Democrats have continued to fail over the course of several decades to find ways to encourage motorists to be sensitive to local residents while drive down Deepdale Lane. Their plans to borrow the Road Safety Partnership equipment to measure speeds has failed to materialise; I can only presume it was another attention grabbing gimmick.
I will tomorrow be signing the 'Right care Right deal Pledge' to work to achieve a reinvigorated vision for social care, ensuring we can all have a personalised, easy to understand and accessible system for all. I spoke to a resident of Shaw Way off Sudbrooke Lane the other week and she convinced me that we need to renew efforts to improve social care for all in our community and ensure that we are not blinkered into believing that social care is only required by the elderly. It is clear to me that we can and we must do more.
