Legal Justification
Recent findings from national reports following the COVID-19 pandemic highlight there is additional emerging need. COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact with carers with surveys revealing that 81% of carers are providing more care than they had before lockdown, with 78% reporting the needs of the person they are caring for have increased. 58% of carers have also seen their physical health impacted by caring through the pandemic, while 64% said their mental health has worsened. This highlights the importance of continuing to improve and expand upon our Carers Support offer. This modification relates directly to increasing the short-term informal care that can be provided in an emergency preventing the need for other interventions. It also responds to the increasing need for carers to receive mental health support in order to prevent or delay carer breakdown
