What reasonable requests would you have to make your life as a carer easier?
Top of my list would be a method of contacting a GP, without making 100+ calls at 8 am, be that for me or my PWD.

How would you choose to spend any carer breaks you were given?
I'd like to go out and not have to keep calling my PWD to prompt then to eat, sleep etc.

I would like a single point of contact for any queries / advice / support - rather than being sent from pillar to post to hunt down every morsel of information.
What's a carer break? I'd like one of those.... but apparently not an option in our area. Not sure how I'm supposed to go to doctor /dentist/optician/vet/shopping/get a covid booster... oh. and have a bit of a life beyond dementia. Selfish, I know.

I'd like a list of carers so that all information is shared with us. Like @lollyc , I'd love to know what this "carers' break is but Welsh Government are suggesting that I spend this unknown time, learning to speak Welsh. I despair, I really do!
