This is the National Carer Organisations response to National falls and fracture prevention strategy 2019-2024 draft.  Carers Scotland is one of the national carer organisations which also includes Carers Trust Scotland, Coalition of Carers in Scotland, Crossroads Caring Scotland, MECOP, Shared Care Scotland and the Scottish Young Carers Alliance.

This response comments on ensuring that the Strategy recognises and includes the needs of carers - both as individuals and as people who provide care for someone who may be at risk of falls.
