Lord Laming (CB)
My Lords, one of the groups most disadvantaged and, I regret to say, ignored at times, is unpaid carers—those who have taken on the care of a very disabled child or an elderly relative. Will the Minister continue her work to persuade all the services to be altogether more sensitive to carers and, most of all, to accord them the dignity and care that they need?
Baroness Merron (Lab)
The noble Lord is absolutely correct, and I can give him the assurance that he seeks.
