Baroness Merron (Lab)
I understand that, but the noble Lord said we were just waiting until 2028, and I am not aligning myself with that.
Baroness Walmsley (LD)
It is recognised that any meaningful social care reform must deliver for unpaid carers. Will the Minister say what role carer organisations are playing in shaping these talks?
Baroness Merron (Lab)
Unpaid carers are key because they provide care and support to those who require care. The needs of unpaid carers will be very much part of the commission. I know that the noble Baroness, Lady Casey, will be speaking to relevant organisations and those with lived experience.
