Proceeding contribution from Harry Cohen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Carers.


Carers

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point about training, and he is quite right that training and facilities should be available at the end of caring. Does he agree that the state—the NHS, care homes and social care policy-making—is missing a trick? Although some people will have had enough of caring, others will have learned skills that they want to take into other productive work—in care homes and in the NHS. Should we not look at that aspect, too?
