Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of carers who care for more than one person.

From data published in March 2019, covering the period 17/18, there were around 360,000 informal carers that care for more than one individual.

The information is published and available at:
