Research about unpaid carers
What are the costs and benefits of support for unpaid carers, particularly short break support? How do the costs of delivering such support compare to the benefits for carers (which could relate to carer wellbeing; improved outcomes for the cared-for person; carers accessing employment; and savings to the health and social care system due to maintaining caring relationships).
