Has any family carers aware of your hospital name calling all family carers :informal carers: and all paid agency staff :carers: I find this highly offensive and i pointed this out at a meeting and told them family carers are paid carers at £10.95 a day.There reply was it is national.!!!!!

A copy of the document below:

Informal carers such as family members are not expected to provide the ‘main support’ during a hospital stay although may be happy to remain involved and partnerships in care should be encouraged.
