Responding to the findings of a report by WPI Economics and Carers Wales revealing that over a quarter of carers in Wales live in poverty, Dr Altaf Hussain MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Social Care said:
“This is shameful news and proves Labour has the wrong priorities.
“Under the Labour Welsh Government, carers are being driven into destitution. These are the unsung heroes of Wales that deserve far greater recognition.
“Labour’s Carers Support Fund is not fit for purpose, given Labour ministers plan to spend eight times as much on creating more politicians every single year.”
