Carers Week 2008
EDM number 1369 in 2007-08, proposed by Anne Begg on 21/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Community care and Voluntary organisations.
That this House expresses its admiration for the six million people in the UK who provide unpaid help and support to a relative or friend, who because of frailty, illness or disability, would not otherwise be able to manage; notes that as a consequence of caring disproportionate numbers of people experience ill health, poverty and discrimination; is concerned that large numbers of carers are unknown to statutory agencies and therefore their health needs are often overlooked; further notes that Carers Week, a partnership of 10 national charities, takes place in 2008 from 9th to 15th June, with the theme `Carers can't afford to be ill'; believes that carers need to be viewed as key partners in community care and need health and social care provision that is accessible and flexible; and further notes that in the next two decades the UK will need substantially more carers.
This motion has been signed by a total of 256 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
