Information from East Dunbartonshire Health & Social Care Partnership:
The Carers (Scotland) Act has a number of responsibilities that Health Boards and Local Authorities need to put in place by April, 2018.
The Act will ensure carers and young carers are identified and supported so they can continue to care if they wish to do so. One completed area of work in NHSGGC is the new resources that aim to increase awareness of support for carers.
These resources were launched on Carers Rights Day last Friday. Carers Rights Day aimed to help carers understand their rights and how to get help and support they are entitled to. We would like to thank carers, patients, health and social care staff and carer support services who helped in its design.
