Carers (No. 2)

EDM number 1126 in 2009-10, proposed by Tony Baldry on 17/03/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House notes with concern research by the Princess Royal Trust for Carers and Crossroads Care, which has found that, of the £100 million the Government has committed through the NHS to provide support for carers in 2010-11, only 26 per cent. is planned to be spent by primary care trusts to increase support for carers and alarmingly that approximately one quarter of primary care trusts in England are planning to reduce spending on carers' services; and calls on the Government to take immediate action.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
