Carers Wales has responded to the Older People's Commissioner for Wales' report on 'Rethinking Respite for People Affected by Dementia'.
Carers Wales would like to see the following:
- Increase and ring-fence the funding for carers’ breaks and ensure that there is more transparency and consistency about what is available.
- Ensure that there are enough respite and replacement care services available to meet the needs of carers and the people that they look after.
- Ensure that carers are consulted with and are fully engaged in deciding the future shape of replacement care services.
The full response is linked below.
