Motion text

That this House expresses its appreciation for the six million people in the UK who provide unpaid help and support to a relative, friend or partner who could not otherwise manage because they are ill, frail or have a disability; is concerned that every day another six thousand people take on a caring responsibility; notes that Carers Week, being held this year from 12th to 18th June, has the theme of carers and health with the objective of assisting carers and enabling them to access support and services; is further concerned that 79 per cent. of carers say that their health has been affected by caring; welcomes the unique partnership of eight leading UK charities, Carers UK, Counsel and Care, Crossroads Caring for Carers, Help the Aged, Macmillan Cancer Relief, MS Society, Rethink and the Princess Royal Trust for Carers in organising this year's Carers Week; and calls for the provision of high quality support and services for carers, including the hidden carers in every community who often do not receive any help from central government, local authorities or health bodies.
