Motion NDM6738 Paul Davies

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes that 11-17 June is Carers Week 2018.

2. Recognises the vital contribution made to Welsh society by the roles undertaken by Wales’s estimated 370,000 unpaid carers of all ages.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to implement the Welsh Conservative policy for a young carers future grant, which would ensure young carers are supported to pursue further and higher full time education and training opportunities.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to publish figures for how many carers' needs have been assessed since the introduction of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 and how many of those assessed needs have been met.

5. Calls on the Welsh Government to introduce a right to respite for both carers and those they care for.
