PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CARERS' WEEK 13th TO 19th JUNE 2005 (16 May 2005)
Motion Details
That this House expresses its appreciation of the six million people in the UK who provide unpaid help and support to a relative, friend or partner who could not otherwise manage because they are ill, frail or have a disability; welcomes the unique partnership of seven national charities, Carers UK, Crossroads, Caring for Carers, Help the Aged, Macmillan Cancer Relief, MS Society, Rethink and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers who together organise Carers Week; congratulates the many employers who already have flexible working practices; encourages other employers to support their staff who juggle work and care; notes that carers currently save the Exchequer £57 billion every year; and calls for the provision of better support and services for carers.
