Unpaid carers to give evidence to Lords Adult Social Care Committee
On Monday, 28 March, the Adult Social Care Committee holds its fourth public evidence session hearing from unpaid carers on the current adult social care system, as well as discussing the changes they would like to see made to adult social care.
This session is an opportunity for the Committee to listen to, and learn from, those with direct experience of providing unpaid care for their relatives, and complements the Committee’s last evidence session when members heard evidence from individuals who draw on care and support.
- This evidence session is due to be held remotely and streamed on Parliament TV.
- The Committee’s work can be followed on its website and via Twitter.
