Just had an e mail letting me know about a new 24 hour care line for carers which the government are setting up
The Carers Direct telephone helpline
is due to go live on 1st April 2009.
This is the second part of the carers’ information service which was first announced as part of the Health and Social Care White Paper and then in the National Strategy for Carers.
The free telephone advice line will open 7 days a week and will provide a comprehensive advice service for carers wanting information and advice about benefits, how to get care and support, breaks, housing, equipment, etc.
