The final instalment in Carer Trust’s research into how primary care trusts (PCTs) have been using Government funding to support breaks for carers has been published today.
We’ve already given MPs and our Network Partners a sneak preview at a
special event in Portcullis House, London, last week. More than 100
people were at the reception to hear Thea Stein, Chief Executive of
Carers Trust, outline the findings, which have today been released in full, and as an executive summary.

Government gives £150m funding boost for social care
Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley has pledged £150m extra funding for Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to alleviate the impact of social care needs on hospitals. A White Paper on social care is to reveal detailed plans for funding reform later this year.
The government is to provide an additional £150m by doubling the amount allocated to PCTs for reablement services (defined by the Department of Health as 'assistance regaining independence if daily living skills are lost through illness or injury') in 2012-13. The money is part of the £87.5bn allocation made to PCTs for 2012-13. Mr Lansley's initiative follows a warning by Age UK director Michelle Mitchell that, 'Care is in crisis and it is getting worse.'
