It has to be said that full time carers not only save the state a fortune but all too often sacrifice their own lives, education, careers etc. to do so and are then left high a dry when their loved one dies or can no longer be cared for at home. Even getting limited respite care can be a big issue and if ever there were a false economy that would be it.
