Carers UK Report: A fresh new approach to supporting unpaid carers: Our vision for delivering the NHS 10 Year Health Plan in England

Carers UK report:

-Rising numbers of unpaid carers need more support from the NHS; 51%, compared to 42% two years ago.

-44% of carers say the person they care for experienced an emergency admission or unplanned visit to hospital in the last 12 months. Many of these could have been prevented with more health services in the community and more social care services.

-Just 14% of unpaid carers say they were asked about their ability to provide care at hospital discharge – even though carers have a legal right to be involved in this process under the Health and Care Act 2022.

- Under a fifth of carers (18%) say they are confident that any feedback or complaint they make about a health or social care service will be acted on.
