Scottish Executive response to Care 21 Report: the future of unpaid care in Scotland

The Executive commissioned this report in recognition of the contribution which unpaid carers make to the provision and quality of care in Scotland. Unpaid care is likely to grow in importance as people live longer and receive more care at home. The study was commissioned to help the Executive  consider the main factors which need to shape the development and funding of services so that they can best support the contribution of unpaid carers over the next 10 years.
