Surrey carers get a break

Surely it is a human right to be able to take a shower!

Carers in Surrey are getting a break.

Surrey Primary Care Trust has allocated all its government funding of £1.9 million to make sure unpaid carers get the time to have a shower, eat or take a nap during their breaks.

That’s unlike 9 out of 10 PCTS around the country, which have not yet committed their cash.

The proposals should, after consultation with GPs and carers themselves, be in place by the autumn.
