My fab colleague Claire making some excellent points at #ALLIANCEConf21 today - Can we honestly afford to wait any longer before we even begin to make a start on improving and addressing the social care inequalities that currently exist? #RealCarersWeek

[Alison Myles @AngusCarersCEO]

Jillian Richmond, Service Leader, Accom & Home Care, AHSCP says she is acutely aware of the challenges that carers continue to face "its vitally important for services to identify carers as equal partners at an early part of a service user’s journey" #NationalCarersWeek2021

Mairi Gougeon, MSP for Angus North and Mearns, says unpaid carers are the cornerstone of health & social, but with everything they have had to do through this pandemic it is so important that they get support & respite, not taken for granted. #CarersWeek2021

[Alison Myles @AngusCarersCEO]

Totally agree @Shubhanna we are coming up to National Carers Week highlighting the importance of unpaid carers being 'Visible and Valued'- the inequalities and myths about being an un/c is a constant source of anger - this seems a good place for our new ministers to start?

[Shubhanna Hussain @Shubhanna]

Figs released this week show that in Nov 2020 only 82,311 out of an estimated 1.1 million unpaid carers in Scotland were in receipt of Carers Allowance.
The majority of unpaid carers are not eligible for any carers allowance, and it's time we stopped ignoring this.

[Carers Scotland @CarersScotland]

Congratulations to @HumzaYousaf on his appointment as Cab. Sec. for Health & Social Care and @ShonaRobison on her appointment as Cab. Sec. with responsibility for social security. We look forward to working with you in delivering greater support for Scotland's 1M #unpaidcarers
