Unpaid Care Dashboard

That this House commends the second report of the Health and Social Care Committee of Session 2024–25 on Adult Social Care: the Cost of Inaction, published on 5 May 2025; agrees with their conclusion that unpaid carers are bearing the highest cost from successive governments’ failures to reform adult social care; further commends the statement by Dr Maria Petrillo of the Centre for Care, University of Sheffield, in oral evidence to the Committee, that the care they provide is worth an estimated £184 billion, which, to contextualise, is equivalent to the combined NHS budget across the four nations; congratulates the Centre for Care, in conjunction with Carers UK, in launching the Unpaid Care Dashboard, freely available to the public, to help explore patterns and demographics of unpaid care to support policymakers, practitioners, and the public in their efforts to address the needs of the carers; and calls on the UK and Welsh Governments to promote the value of the Unpaid Care Dashboard as part of their strategies to meet the needs of the millions of people who care unpaid for family or friends.
