Carers

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of publishing a National Carers Strategy.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

This Government is committed to ensuring that families have the support that they need. The Government has heard the calls for a National Carers Strategy. This must be addressed in the wider context of the urgent need for a renewed vision for adult social care.

As part of that renewed vision, we will consider how best to support unpaid carers. As we move forward, we will collaborate with our counterparts across Government, unpaid carers, and sector partners, to make sure that unpaid carers are visible, valued, and supported.
