Carers (No. 2)

EDM number 2387 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 30/10/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House notes the vital role played by carers throughout the UK; recognises that much of the work performed by an estimated six million carers goes unnoticed with only minimal financial support; welcomes the package of measures included in the National Strategy for Carers; and calls on the Government to look urgently into increasing financial support for carers, encouraging carers to take up the unclaimed benefits that are open to them and further improve the means of support and assistance for carers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
