Carers to get more help
HEALTH workers have been urged to look out for people who may be caring for a loved one and are themselves in need of help.
NHS Lothian's staff have been given a list of tell-tale signs. Thousands of people take on some form of care duty without knowing what support they qualify for.
Katie McWilliam, strategic programme manager for older people's services, said: "We recognise the important role and dedication of unpaid carers."
