§ 33. Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he plans to issue guidance to local authorities on support for informal carers.
§ Mr. WhitneyWe shall draw on experience gained from the relevant elements of the helping the community to care programme in deciding how best to develop our policies on support for informal carers. While a circular of guidance for local authorities will be among the methods of making use of that experience we shall wish to consider it is not possible to determine this at present.
