@patrickjbutler @guardian @JoshHalliday @NAOorguk FFS stop talking to charities and start talking to us #Carers! Better still, organise a meeting between carers and the relevant Minister! I would LOVE to take part. The level of #CarersAllowance has ALWAYS been set too low, much lower than the benefits foster parents get.

[Patrick Butler @patrickjbutler]

My @guardian story w/@joshhalliday: 600 unpaid carers prosecuted and left with a criminal record, 262k in ruinous debt - official @NAOorguk audit shows the scale of the DWP failure on carer's allowance in the 5 years after it vowed to fix the benefit https://t.co/QW0BKiYSNP

[Dementia Who! @Dementiawho]

Still currently more than 134,500 #unpaidcarers repaying overpayment debts of more than £251m, whilst CA unit focused on internal savings, cutting staff who did checks by 14% over past 2yrs despite previous NAO warnings

Everything should be put on hold til Govt review is done!

This is a brilliant story! In 2018, music helped to bring about a 60% drop in the use of sedative drugs at this care home.
