Question

Lynne Featherstone, Foot care for the elderly would probably improve a million lives very cheaply and create employment, as you mentioned in your blog. Do your fellow MPs pay as much attention to detail as you do? If so, examples please- if not, why not?!

Answer

Thanks for your question evenhand. My decision to campaign on getting decent foot care for the elderly initially came from casework, but as I have spent a lot of time locally visiting old people's homes this summer, I see that this is an issue that affect so many people, and is quite easy to rectify. But despite this, basic foot care is not widely available. It's outrageous and it matters to people, so it matters to me. And Lib Dems I think are particularly good at acting on and caring about these local issues. I think the best way to show you what I mean is to have a look at some fellow Lib Dem MPs websites, and in particular the news section: http://www.vincentcable.org.uk/ http://www.susankramer.org.uk http://www.tauntonlibdems.org.uk/newslist.php
