“These figures lay bare the extraordinary pressure being placed on unpaid carers across England. More than a third are providing at least 100 hours of care every week, over half are struggling to look after themselves properly, and almost seven in ten have less social contact than they would like or feel socially isolated.”
What Dominic King-Carter has said
“The contract between carers and the state is broken. Despite the responsibilities carers shoulder, just 1% of local authority adult social care spending goes towards supporting carers themselves.”
