Nearly one in 10 people in England provide unpaid care for a family member, friend or loved one.

The government has published its first cross-government action plan for unpaid carers, focusing on helping people get recognised and supported sooner.

The Unpaid carers action plan includes new ways for carers to identify themselves through the NHS App, improved information sharing across health and care services, and a carers’ charter setting out carers’ rights.

People with a learning disability encouraged to book an annual health check.

People with a learning disability aged 14 and over, along with their families and carers, are encouraged to contact their GP practice to book an annual health check if they haven't had one in the past year.

Around 79% of people on the learning disability register in Surrey and Sussex received an annual health check over the past year. However, many people who are eligible are still missing out on these important checks.

Annual health checks help people stay well by giving them the opportunity to talk to a doctor or nurse about their physical and mental health, discuss any concerns, and access additional support where needed.

🚗 Hospital parking shouldn't be another barrier to accessing healthcare.

Healthwatch England has heard from patients and carers about the challenges of hospital parking, including:
• Long delays finding a space, causing missed or late appointments
• High parking costs for people needing frequent hospital visits
• Too few accessible spaces for disabled people
• Confusing information about free parking and payment systems
• Faulty machines, unclear signage, and unfair parking penalties

While some hospitals offer effective park-and-ride services and free parking concessions, too many people still face unnecessary stress before they even reach their appointment.

Healthwatch is calling on NHS Trusts to:
✅ Make parking part of improving access to care
✅ Improve accessibility for disabled people and carers
✅ Provide clear parking information before appointments
✅ Introduce fairer, simpler pay-on-exit systems and better oversight of parking providers

Hospital parking should support patient care - not stand in its way.

A team of researchers at the University of York are looking to speak with people who have current or recent experience of waiting for social care to take part in a one‑to‑one research interview.

By listening to people’s experiences and perspectives, we hope to identify ways the process could be improved in the future.

As a token of appreciation, participants will receive a £40 voucher.
