Abstract

THE FIRST NATIONAL STRATEGY for carers promises a new direction and new emphasis in policy, with measures which will enhance the quality of life for all carers. The strategy does attempt to address the current gap between policy and carers' experience, but many questions remain about its coherence with other policies and implementation locally. Criteria are suggested for evaluating the success of the strategy and its impact on carers.
