- (NewsRx.com) According to recent research from Monheim, Germany, "The dopamine agonist rotigotine was developed for the treatment of Parkinson s disease and restless legs syndrome (see also Transdermal Delivery). Disposition, metabolism, elimination, and absolute bioavailability of rotigotine were determined in six healthy male subjects by using two different forms of administration in a randomized sequence with a crossover design."

Commenting on the proposals, Imelda Redmond, Chief Executive of Carers UK, said: "Caring for someone with severe disability caused by conditions like dementia or Parkinson s disease can be incredibly stressful. Not only do families have to cope with the physical caring role, but they must also navigate the complicated benefits and care systems. Many families struggle to find any help, and when they do negotiate the system and are assessed as being eligible, they are told they must pay for it because they own their own home. One in five carers gives up work to care, so families face a cut in income at the same time as they have to pay for care, risking them falling into poverty. "Carers UK has been calling for an end to means-testing for a long time, and we welcome this Bill as a stepping stone towards the longer term goal of a National Care Service. It is critical that full proposals for an overhaul of our crumbling social care system are brought forward as soon as possible. This is one of the biggest issues facing our society and we hope that all political parties will make it a central part of their manifestos for the next General Election." Other Bills which will impact on carers include:"

"Around 400,000 people – including those with serious dementia or Parkinson s disease – will benefit. And it is a first step towards the National Care Service, which will mean a simple, fair and affordable care system for everyone."

Tories claim 2 million elderly people could lose out under government care plans [Guardian.co.uk - 11/19/2009]

...Burnham said: "We know that people want to stay independent by living in their own homes for as long as possible. This bill will help families by offering free personal care at home for those with the highest needs, regardless of their means. 'Around 400,000 people – including those with serious dementia or Parkinson s disease – will benefit. And it is a first step towards the National Care Service, which will mean a simple, fair and affordable care system for everyone.' The legislation was broadly welcomed by campaigners."
