Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:48 pm on 25 April 2018.
Thank you, Minister. I'm always happy to welcome action, as long as that action is both forthcoming and effective, shall we say. I don't think your answer quite explained what's happened in the last 18 months, in terms of what happened to a strategy that was nearly ready. Perhaps I could move on to some of the other points that have been raised with me by carers in meetings, one of which is the variety of understanding of carers' rights that there is between different local authorities, and actually within some departments within local authorities. Can you clarify who is responsible for ensuring consistency of assessment in different councils, and why this is an ongoing problem?
