Very fair challenge coming from #unpaidcarers at today's #carersparliament hosted by @CarersScotland. Nothing changing for carers, other than getting worse. @CarersTrust

Systems and budgets often mean that #carersrights aren't made reality. This has to change
Only 20% of carers say their rights improve their quality of life. The Government needs to do more to support carers and deliver better rights Find out more about the action needed this #CarersRightsDay: https://t.co/6JUByPqlCW

For #CarersRightsDay we've collaborated on a new report with @CarersScotland, which estimates the value of #unpaidcare in Scotland is worth £15.9 billion. Without unpaid carers our health and #socialcare systems would collapse. Read the report here: https://t.co/K4W01lzR1d

No better way to kick off #carersrightsday than at the launch of @CarersScotland brilliant research on the value of unpaid care. There are figures in here we simply cannot ignore.

Nothing more powerful than politicians hearing directly from the people who are impacted by their decisions.Thank you @S_A_Somerville for meeting with older adults unpaid carers & listening to their experiences.Thanks to @Edincare4carers & @CarersTrustScot for making it happen
Really informative and engaging meeting this morning @Edincare4carers with @S_A_Somerville and a group of older #unpaidcarers discussing underlying entitlement to Carers Support Payment & State Pension and highlighting the financial challenges it poses to many carers
