John Harris is correct thanks Ed Davey for focusing attention on family care and the need to reduce the more pressures it deals with. However, it is important that debates are about how it can be achieved it is placed in the context of the new state pension increase (Passed, referred to, fined – but the splendor of family care is finally recognized?, 25 May). Between 2010 and 2018, the state’s aging pension age ranges from 60 to 65 years of reduced state spending at that time A total of £ 77bn. Since then, it has risen 66 years for everyone.
Starting April 2026, it will rise in 67 years. In March this time the office is for the bank’s responsibility that this fiscal storage can be £ 10.4bn in 2029-30, including Pension Credit and Winter allowance. Rachel Reeves please tick.
Since 2010, the need to remain in the paid job of an older age is accompanied by cuts of social care services. Meanwhile, the carer’s allowance remains the lowest benefit of the system. Almost 30% of whose care responsibilities have the right to receive it is not possible due to the complex interviews with the benefits they care. It is important that this labor government cannot control the eyes from the health and well-being of young and older people in the family.

I am grateful to John Harris for emphasizing Davey’s book about many stresses of families who care for family members with learning disabilities. In my professional life parents have always brought me nearly commenting on “luck” to others that they no longer worry about their care in the future. Or parents who say that the government just wants to die their children, so that they can no longer be a financial burden of the state.
In retirement, I have friends that grandchildren have important needs, and I fear that services have been cut to a point where families collapse. ED Davey may introduce a strategy to keep family employment for politicians, so that they can have any experience in the evenings; handling income at the level of poverty; rarely have access to public toilets with appropriate reformal facilities; And uncertainty is what happens when they are sick or injured, and can’t take care for everyday needs.
While budgets are broken, this group of people, carers and care, often seen quick targets for cutting, because they are not so tired, to shout for strength.

I am a full-time carer for my husband, suffering a major stroke 21 years ago. At that time we saw our named care manager, lost any Physio support, lost the council of domiciliary nursing homes and tripling their workers.
Private Care Homes, if they offer everyone’s respe, pay £ 1,900 per week for not care of care. It is rare to book in advance and small houses cannot cope with powers. It leaves me and thousands with no more support, leading fatigue and burn.
Unexpected Caregers in the UK Save Government £ 184bn a yearBut we don’t have their radar. Shame on you, hard work. My next vote is definitely going to Ed Davey and the liberal Democrats, which is in accordance with their policies.
