Caring Costs Campaign

EDM number 615 in 1992-93, proposed by Richard Burden on 21/10/1992.

That this House welcomes the launch of Caring Costs, the campaign for an independent income for carers, which has the backing of 45 voluntary organisations and charities; recognises the substantial contribution made to community care by Britain's six million carers; and urges the Government both to review the level of financial support given to older carers and hold a debate on the financial aspects of providing care and support at home.

This motion has been signed by a total of 177 MPs.
