Unpaid carers urged to take part in survey to help shape future support

The views of people who carry out unpaid caring are being sought to
help shape a strategy to provide future support and assistance.
Health and Social care organisations in west Wales, including
Pembrokeshire County Council, are developing a regional strategy for
unpaid carers.

The Welsh Government defines carers as: “anyone of any age, who
provides unpaid care and support to a relative, friend or neighbour
who is disabled, physically or mentally ill, or affected by substance
misuse.”

A survey has been set up to gather the views of unpaid carers at

Tessa Hodgson, Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member for
Social Services, said: “Unpaid carers play a significant and important
role in society, a fact underlined by the current coronavirus situation.
“We would urge anyone who is providing unpaid care to please take
part in the survey which will help shape a strategy to support such
carers in the future.”
