I heard a statistic on The BBC news this morning that may put this into perspective.

The government SAVES £87 billion on not paying carers.That is NOT a cutback.It's money that just isn't given to carers because they take on the burden instead.If they didn't the government would have to find that sum..

Think about that..

Makes Arthur's figure of £70 million pale into insignificance.
