Carers Manifesto launched
The National Carer Organisations, which include Carers Scotland, have worked with carers and carers’ services to develop a manifesto for unpaid carers in Scotland.
During the campaign for the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2016, we are calling on all political parties to commit to investing in carers, through:
- Adequate resources to implement the Carers Bill
- Increased efforts to improve short break provision
- Better, preventative support for carers
- Improved financial support for carers
- Sufficient, sustainable funding for social care
- Supporting carers in and into employment
- Introducing health checks for all carers
