Welsh Government, local authorities and healthcare settings for unpaid carers,
based on the rights set out in the Social Services and Wellbeing Act (Wales)
2014;
b) solidify data capture and monitoring of
engagement with unpaid carers across statutory services to be reported on
periodically;
c) ensure greater sharing of unpaid carers’
data, where appropriate, between statutory services to support carers as they
navigate services and advocate for the person(s) they care for; and
d) place a duty on the Welsh Government and local authorities to recognise unpaid carers as a priority group in the design and delivery of all future policy interventions.
