That this House expresses concern for the current lack of rights under law for non-next-of-kin carers who care for the sick or elderly and represent a large section of the healthcare support system; believes that carers should have the ability to participate in all decision-making for incapacitated partners; notes with regret that many of the elderly or infirm are separated from next-of-kin; and calls upon the Government to address this issue and bring forward proposals for legislation to effect protection for both the sick and their carers.
This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
