The Director of Adult Social Services presented the draft Strategy for Carers, which set down a revised strategic direction for developing carer services in Wirral based on contemporary national and local information. It echoed the National Strategy and had been developed with carers and based on carer views. It proposed a number of areas for further development that would realise the vision set down in the strategy. It also sought to demonstrate to carers that their contribution was highly valued and to ensure that their number one priority of recognition by professionals was achieved.

Resolved – That the Strategy for Carers be approved.
