Dementia is incredibly hard on the family members who put their own lives on hold to care for a loved one with dementia. Carers become very tired and stressed. It’s a very traumatic thing to have to do to look after somebody with dementia because, effectively, you’re seeing them slip away piece by piece. How are you ensuring that adequate and consistent provision is being put in place by local authorities and health boards to support the needs of such carers in terms of respite care, advice and counselling?
