What is the Carers Strategy Network?
The Carers Network meets bi-monthly; the network is made up of representatives from the Local Health Board, NHS Trust, Voluntary sector, Local Authority and Carers.
The Network identifies the issues that carers have in their role and address them in the strategy. It puts the issues into actions plans which all partners work on and try to deliver effective services.
The aim of the Strategy is:
- to deliver better services for carers
- to ensure that carers of all ages are aware of their rights
- to ensure that carers are at the top of the main agendas
- to keep raising the profile of the work that carers are doing
The Current strategy comes to an end in April 2008 and the Network is in the process of prioritising the Actions for Merthyr Tydfil Carers.
