Point of view

Have a care Carers Week has come around again. Newspapers will cover stories of carers suffering from problems, physically, mentally and financially. News channels will interview some high-up person in the Carers Trust. They will tell us how carers save the NHS millions of pounds and then silence until next year. Surely this is all talk and no action. More and more people are caring for and supporting loved ones, old and young. Our so-called caring society is now happy to forget these unsung heroes until next year.
