This question was answered on 9th July 2019
This information is not held centrally. However, the Government is committed to continuing to support carers to provide care as they would wish, and to do so in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing, employment and other life chances. That is why it published its Carers Action Plan 2018-2020 in June 2018 which sets out a programme of targeted work to support unpaid carers.
