Labour has neglected carers says Lamb

Commenting on the report by the Princess Royal Trust for Carers which reveals that only 23% of the money allocated to help carers was used in this way, Norman Lamb said:

"The Government has completely neglected the vital work that carers do and this report is further evidence of the scale of the problem.

"Labour's cuts are already biting across the NHS and their failure to cut back on waste means that it is the most vulnerable who are losing out.

"This report highlights the need for a guarantee to respite care which only the Liberal Democrats are committed to."
