Dementia Carers…have your say on future services

"How can we improve the support for Carers?" is the key question in a Consultation exercise currently being run by the Department of Health.

In an online questionnaire aimed at canvassing the views of carers around the country, carers from as many different groups and sectors as possible are being encouraged to have their say.

​The results will be used to inform the direction of government policy for the following 5 years by way of the next Carers' Strategy.

It is important that dementia carers are strongly represented, so taking the time to complete the questionnaire will be time well spent.

Alistair Burt, Minister of State for Communities and Social Care and Lead Minister for carers across Government, launches this listening exercise in the short video below and explains why consulting the full range of carer groups is so important for shaping future policy.
