Equal Opportunities For Carers (EDM602)

Equal Opportunities For Carers

EDM number 602 in 2003-04, proposed by Hywel Francis on 10/02/2004.

That this House notes that seven million carers who look after family, partners or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail or have a disability do so unpaid; places on record the country's appreciation of their invaluable sacrifice, which is estimated at Ãº57 billion, the equivalent of the cost of the National Health Service; further notes the progress made in the last decade in advancing the status of carers through the enabling legislation of successive Conservative and Labour Governments and the National Carers Strategy; and welcomes all new efforts to achieve equal opportunities for carers, particularly in relation to their health and wellbeing, lifelong learning, work and leisure.

This motion has been signed by a total of 182 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
