Do you look after someone?

Do you look after a family member or friend who is disabled, ill or frail? If so, you’re a carer, and the East Sussex Adult Social Care team would like to hear from you.

More than 50,000 people in East Sussex alone provide invaluable care and help to their loved ones – and we know it can take a physical and mental toll . East Sussex County Council are working with the NHS to refresh their strategy to support carers in the county.

They have developed new plans based on what nearly 1000 carers have already told them about the support they would like to receive. They would like to hear your views about these plans.

Please visit: www.eastsussex.gov.uk/haveyoursay and click on 'Current Consultations' to download the 'Improving Support for Carers' questionnaire or contact Debbie Charman to request a printed copy (also available in large print.

The consultation closes on 8 September
