P-06-1241 Welsh government to meet with a wider audience of unpaid carers – Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Committee, 4 June 2022

Whilst I appreciate the health and social care committees reply and the invitation to give evidence at future meetings it would be great if the committee would commit to organising a session or series of sessions with an open invite where unpaid carers could meet with them virtually and discuss the issues that are affecting us. Issues such as lack of respite, lack of paid care workers, waiting times for and accountability with carers needs assessments, access to accessible housing and many other issues. Unpaid carers across Wales feel that these issues are better coming straight from those with the lived experience.
