Care affected by poor communication, Demos report finds

A Demos report has found that more than half (55%) of people have experienced poor communications from NHS in the past five years and one in ten say their care has been affected as a result. It says good communication should not be seen as a ‘nice to have’, but as fundamental to the functioning of the NHS.

“Being a young carer, you have to choose between your future and the future of the person you care for.”

The first parliamentary inquiry on young carers, supported by Carers Trust, reveals a lack of support severely affecting education, wellbeing, and future prospects for them. The report urges a national carers strategy, a properly resourced action plan, and collaboration with young carers for improved identification and support.
