A profile of carers in the West Midlands, detailing who they are, their potential needs and the support services in their area, is available on the Department of Health website. Compiled by the University of Leeds, it provides health and local authorities with information needed to support implementation of the national carers’ strategy.
The profile shows:
· most local authorities in the region have developed carers' strategy steering groups
· all local authorities are concentrating on delivering carers’ breaks
· all have developed strategies for supporting young carers
· 55,200 people of working age have an entitlement to Carer’s Allowance (CA), and among them 49,590 receive this benefit.
