The noble Lord, as always, goes right to the heart of the issue. I reassure him that, through the 10-year plan, all the issues that he has raised are recognised. Through all the aspects, enhancing the position of carers is paramount. It cannot be right to have the situation he outlined whereby the carer’s wishes, understanding and insights are not taken seriously. The golden thread running through all the planned improvements is that the rights of carers will be recognised. Through the My Carer app, for example, no medical professional can have any excuse for not recognising the vital role that they play.
