Carers: Making the Connections

Abstract

The development of a national strategy for carers underlines the importance of making the connections between all the different policies which impinge on carers. This needs to be mirrored at a local level, where there are some moves to embed support to carers within mainstream health and social services. However, achieving positive change for carers' needs not only more coherence about carers' relationship with the whole system of care, but also better ways of monitoring services.
