Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the conclusions of the report by the Carers Trust, A charge on caring, published in September 2015, that an increasing number of local councils are considering charging carers for the support that they receive to help them in their caring role.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 30 October 2015 to Question 13008.
