Carers Association in plea to Govt to maintain Towards 2016 commitments

The Carers Association today urged Minister for Social and Family Affairs not to allow the current economic climate to dictate the content of the National Carers Strategy, which is presently being developed by Government.

Speaking at the launch of the group's pre-Budget submission today, CEO Enda Egan said the strategy must be innovative, forward thinking and provide long-term solutions to the everyday problems facing carers in Ireland today.
