Discharge of Isle of Wight dementia patients to mainland care homes

End-of-day debate on a single topic

An adjournment debate in which Labour MP Richard Quigley raises concerns about the discharge of dementia patients from Isle of Wight services to mainland care homes. The debate will examine whether patients are being moved off-island due to lack of local capacity or funding, and what safeguards exist to protect vulnerable people during such transfers.

This affects elderly dementia patients and their families on the Isle of Wight, who may face disruption and travel difficulty if discharged to distant mainland facilities. It highlights potential gaps in social care provision on smaller island communities and raises questions about how local NHS and council services manage complex patient needs within budget constraints.
