Guidance And Support For Carers (EDM2003)

Guidance And Support For Carers

EDM number 2003 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 12/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House calls on the Government to simplify guidance and systems of support for carers; is concerned by the findings of the Public Accounts Committee that one fifth of carers who receive benefits have experienced difficulties claiming; notes that approximately 900,000 people in the UK care for a relative or loved one; acknowledges that the value of the service that unpaid carers provide is not reflected in the quality of support available for them; and urges the Government urgently to review the loopholes identified by the Committee in order adequately to support the vital work of carers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs.
