Description
Informal carers - people who look after an alderly or disabled person at home - are increasingly seen as the lynch pin of community care. Yet their needs are often neglected. There is a widely held view that the right sorts of service would improve their lives ability to care. But what are the right sorts of service?

Covering services in both the statutory and voluntary sectors, it look at carer support groups, information services, practical nursing and domestic support, as well as the variety of forms of respite care.
