Labour pledges free personal care for over-65s in England Labour is promising free personal
care in England for over-65s most in need of it, so they will not have to pay for help with dressing, washing and meals. At the moment, those with savings of more than £14,250 have to contribute to the cost of home or residential help.
Labour says the pledge, costing an estimated £6bn a year, will double the number of those not having to pay. It would bring England into line with Scotland, where personal care is free for those with the most severe needs. BBC News
