Thanks to everyone who fed into our consultation response. The summary report of the consultation has just been release and it includes many of the concerns we raised.
Health Minister Edwin Poots has published a report summarising the findings of the recent consultation on 'Who Cares? The Future of Adult Care and Support in Northern Ireland'.
This was the first stage of a three stage process to reform adult care and support.
On carers the report says:
"Support for carers was the issue raised most consistently throughout the consultation. It is clear from views shared that people believe there should be more support to enable carers to continue in their caring role. While Who Cares? set out to recognise the role played by carers, some argued that it was not entirely successful in doing so, with the concern that it downgraded the role of caring from a labour intensive task to one of befriending."
