| Title of the Consultation | Thurrock Carers' Strategy 2012-2017 |
|---|
| Purpose | The Thurrock Carers' Strategy sets out a plan for supporting carers in Thurrock, which puts the Thurrock vision at the forefront of how we work with this crucial group of local people. Carers spend a significant proportion of their life providing unpaid support to a relative, partner, friend or neighbour who is ill, frail, elderly, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems. They are a diverse and significant group of people - over three in five people in the UK will become carers at some time in their lives, and nationally 1.2 million carers provide more than 50 hours of care per week. This equates to a workforce greater than the NHS and saves the Government up to £87 billion per year. It is clear, therefore, that local services and the national economy needs carers, and that replacing all unpaid care with formal care services is neither possible nor desirable. |
