Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate his Department has made of the number of additional unpaid carers there will be by (a) 2020 and (b) 2040.
The Department has not made estimates of the numbers of additional informal carers in 2020 or 2040. The Department expects to explore this area further as part of wider work on the sustainability of adult social care.
