Answer

The NHS Information Centre for health and social care collects and publishes information on the number of carers in receipt of an assessment (separately and jointly) with the cared for person. The proportion of carers receiving an assessment cannot be provided as the total number of carers, including those that are not known to a local authority, is not collected centrally.The following table shows the data available for the number of carers in England who received an assessment or review separately or jointly in 2009-10, by region and local authority area.
