Very fair challenge coming from #unpaidcarers at today's #carersparliament hosted by @CarersScotland. Nothing changing for carers, other than getting worse. @CarersTrust

[Becky Duff @BeckyJDuff]

Great to see @CarersTrustScot wonderful members @Lan_Carers supporting #carersrightsday

[Lanarkshire Carers @Lan_Carers]

Today is #CarersRightsDay, an event organised each year to raise awareness of the rights and entitlements of unpaid carers.

@lan_carers is proudly supporting Carers Rights Day.

#CarersCantWait

[Becky Duff @BeckyJDuff]

Systems and budgets often mean that #carersrights aren't made reality. This has to change

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Only 20% of carers say their rights improve their quality of life.

The Government needs to do more to support carers and deliver better rights

[Centre for Care @CentreForCare]

For #CarersRightsDay we've collaborated on a new report with @CarersScotland, which estimates the value of #unpaidcare in Scotland is worth £15.9 billion.

Without unpaid carers our health and #socialcare systems would collapse.

No better way to kick off #carersrightsday than at the launch of @CarersScotland brilliant research on the value of unpaid care. There are figures in here we simply cannot ignore.
