Lords adult social care committee publishes report called ‘A “gloriously ordinary life’’’

Today, the lords adult social care committee has published: A “gloriously ordinary life”: Spotlight on adult social care, a report calling on the Government to commit to a more positive and resilient approach to adult social care.

Responding, Helen Walker, Chief Executive of Carers UK, said:

“Unpaid carers are grappling with unprecedented challenges at present, often with little or no support. As winter really starts to bite, 13,000 people and families providing unpaid care to disabled, older or ill relatives have told us loud and clear that they are really struggling. What was tough before the pandemic, is even harder now.

“This report sets out some fantastic recommendations, which we, together with unpaid carers have been campaigning about for a number of years and remain on the urgent and imperative list for Government”.
