As Members we are being lobbied by the carer representative associations about cutbacks in recent years. In fairness to all Members, regardless of political perspectives, we have much empathy with carers. They do heroic work while giving love, support and sustenance to their dependants. We want to get to a position where these carers can be fully supported. Leaving aside empathy and support, the reality is that carers save the State a fortune in money. What is Ms Guinan's vision of how carers in families will be supported by the disability authority?
