Still time to give views on carers strategy
There is still time for people to give their views on a strategy outlining how agencies will work together to support carers.
Hywel Dda Health Board and the three local authorities have worked together on the draft Information and Consultation Strategy which will sets out how they will all work together to provide information to carers and include carers in the arrangements made for those they care for.
The strategy highlights the importance of effective early identification and engagement of carers, increasing take-up of carers needs assessments and the wide availability of appropriate information provision on services, support and entitlements.
Joint training and engagement with staff across agencies is recognised as being key to this process. The strategy outlines how health and social care staff will be engaged, the training which will be made available to them to ensure carers are identified at an early stage and ensure they have full access to support.
Carers are invited to give their views or they can go to www.hywelddahb.wales.nhs.uk/carers to view the strategy and supporting documents and find out how to give their views. Feedback must be received by Friday 28th September 2012.
