‘s marked the first anniversary of Derek Draper’s death challenging Health Secretary Wes Streeting on why proposals to the long-term funding of adult social care in England are unlikely to be delivered before 2028.
The presenter sadly reflected on the fact today (January 3) was the first anniversary of her husband’s death saying: “I’m thinking about the situation with Derek.
“It actually happens to be the anniversary of his death, the one year anniversary of his death today, which is a day only relevant to me,” she said.
However she went on to explan that she was still dealing with crushing debt from caring for her husband in the lead up to his death. “Over the last few weeks the family and I have been talking about the challenges we faced this time last year…and one of the overriding ones…was dealing with the funding of care at the time of his death,” she told the MP.
“I’m lucky. I’ve got an incredible job, which is well paid. I was having to fund the situation. Now I’ve got excessive and unpayable debt because of it, and if I’m in that position what else are people going to be. People can’t afford four more years of this,” she told him.
