Carers: Older People
(asked on 11th February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support carers who are over 80 years old.
This question was answered on 18th February 2020
In June 2018 we published the cross-Government Carers Action Plan 2018-2020 which includes commitments from across Government to support the health and wellbeing of all carers, including those over 80.
We have also commissioned a piece of work through the Health and Wellbeing Alliance which looks at supporting carers to make plans for a future where they may be less able to care. A report and resources will be published in the spring.
