The National Carer Organisations have published a briefing for the upcoming stage 1 debate on the National Care Service. The briefing sets out how the Bill’s proposals can be improved to better support many of Scotland’s 800,000 unpaid carers.

The National Carer Organisations are Carers Scotland, Carers Trust Scotland, the Coalition of Carers in Scotland, MECOPP, Shared Care Scotland and the Scottish Young Carers Services Alliance.  We operate locally and nationally across Scotland and together we have a shared vision that all Scotland’s unpaid carers will feel valued, included, and supported as equal partners in the provision of care.
