Warning over funding for new Carers Act
Money for implementing a new law to support unpaid carers in Scotland is being spent inconsistently by councils, according to charities.
The Carers (Scotland) Act 2016 came into force last April giving carers a legal right to support. This included counselling, practical help, training and short breaks.
Figures given to 大象传媒 Scotland's The Nine suggested more than a quarter of government funding for councils to roll out the Carers Act has not been spent.
