Almost a million people caring for loved-ones suffering from cancer in England should be given new legal rights to specialist support, an alliance of charities says today.
The chief executives of 13 charities working with families living with cancer are calling for an amendment to be written into the Government?s Care Bill, which is being debated by MPs, to create a new legal duty on the NHS to ensure that carers get the help they need.
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, the charity chiefs warn that many are in danger of ?buckling under the pressure? unless changes are made.
