Care and Support (Reform)

The hon. Gentleman is right, and Crossroads is a wonderful example; I know the organisation well. Of course, there is always more that we can do. The carers strategy was an innovation, and it has recently been updated and comes with a significant investment alongside it. We can never be complacent about what we do to help carers. However, my basic argument today is that if we can improve the services that older people receive, we can relieve the pressure on the carers and enable them to do more.
