Crossroads - Caring For Carers
EDM number 1055 in 2003-04, proposed by Andy King on 27/04/2004.
That this House notes the thirtieth anniversary of the foundation of Crossroads - Caring for Carers and the enormous contribution that this organisation has made to the lives of carers by giving them time to themselves and time to have a break from their caring responsibilities; further notes that in 2003 Crossroads provided 4.3 million hours of care breaks and that without this support many would be unable to continue in their role as a carer, placing additional pressures on social services and health budgets; believes that the service is needed today as much if not more than when it was founded in Rugby in 1974; and endorses the work of the charity.
This motion has been signed by a total of 167 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
