The progress of the LCO on Carers.

Helen Mary Jones AM has won the third ballot to be given the chance to seek to obtain a Legislative Competence Order on providing information packs to carers. The proposed Order would amend the relevant fields in Schedule 5 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 to make provision for the establishment of a statutory requirement for health bodies and providers of social services to identify carers, and to inform carers of their rights; and to make further provision in relation to referral pathways for carers.
