Carers Strategy 2007-2010

What is the Carers Strategy?

The Carers Strategy is designed to make sure that we continue to meet the needs of carers who look after a resident of the Borough. The new Strategy continues to be a collaboration between the Borough, the Primary Care Trust (PCT) and several carer focused organisations.

Launch of the new Strategy

The new Strategy was launched on 9th August 2007 by Serge Lourie the leader of the council, with Cllr Denise Carr, Cabinet Member for Adult Services, Health and Housing, and the new Borough Carers Champion Cllr Anna Davies.
