Last week saw the publication of a report by the Social Services Committee ( 1 ) which, for once, goes beyond lip-service. For years, organisations representing the interests of so-called 'informal' carers have been pressing for more support, financial help and recognition for the estimated six million people who take on an open-ended commitment to care.
