Content: ?? ?? “Carers make an extraordinary contribution in helping their loved ones lead healthier and more independent lives, and it is important that they are supported to care for them as long as they want to. This new strategy—produced in partnership with the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and with direct input from carers themselves— recognises the extraordinary contribution carers make up and down the county, and ensures they have the help and support they need. It also reflects how we’ll continue to seek the views of carers, and work with them to ensure they are aware of the support available and building access to support in their own communities. We’ve listened to what carers want and in building this strategy and have also integrated the needs of our inspirational young carers to ensure support specific needs.”??? ??
